As summary, the concept with the python script together with the compiled EXI decoder works. Further efforts can be spent on

completing the missing details of the V2G messages.

### 2022-11-11 [*EvseMode*] Ioniq in the PreCharge loop
|
||||
The EVSE state machine, together with the EXI decoder/encoder, is able to talk to the Ioniq car until the PreCharge loop. The
|
||||
car terminates the loop after some seconds, because the intended voltage is not reached (no physical electricity connected to the
|
||||
charge port). Maybe it is possible to convince the car to close the relay, just by pretending "voltage is reached" in the
|
||||
PreCharge response. But maybe the car makes a plausibilization with the physical voltage, then further development would require
|
||||
a physical power supply.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2022-11-15 [*PevMode*] Draft of SLAC sequencer
|
||||
In PevMode, the software runs through the SLAC sequence with a simulated Evse. After SLAC is finished, we send a software
|
||||
version request broadcast message, to find out, whether we have at least two homeplug modems in the network (one for the
|
||||
car and one for the charger). If this is fulfilled, we should use the SDP to discover the chargers IPv6 address. But this
|
||||
is not yet implemented.

||||

||||
|
||||
## Biggest Challenges
|
||||
- [*ListenMode*] Find a way to enable the sniffer mode or monitor mode in the AR7420. Seems to be not included in the public qca/open-plc-utils.
|
||||
Without this mode, we see only the broadcast messages, not the TCP / UDP traffic between the EVSE and the PEV.

## Other open topics
|

- [*EvseMode*] [*PevMode*] Fill V2G messages as far as needed, to convince the car to accept it.
|
||||
- [*PevMode*] Implement SDP to get the chargers IPv6 address
|
||||
- [*PevMode*] Testing on real charger
|
||||
- improve docu (update layer diagram, improve hardware docu, add link to evse which provides the 5% PWM)

- Resolve the todo-markers in the code

- (and much more)

## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
### Q1: What is the minimal setup, to catch the MAC addresses in the communication between a real charger and a real car?
|
||||
- Hardware: A TPlink TL-PA4010P homeplug adaptor, with the configuration for PEV. Modified according to the hardware manual https://github.com/uhi22/pyPLC/blob/master/doc/hardware.md
|
||||
- Software: Wireshark. Only wireshark. (The pyPlc project and the exi decoder is NOT necessary to sniff the MAC addresses.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Q2: Is it possible to use this software, to make the car closing the relay, so that I'm able to draw energy out of the car?
|
||||
Good question. This depends on how strict the car is. This first hurdle is to convince the car, to close the relay. This is
|
||||
done after a successful PreCharge phase. And it depends on the implementation of the car, whether it needs physically correct
|
||||
voltage on the inlet before closing the relay, or whether it relies on the pretended voltage in the PreChargeResponse message.
|
||||
The second hurdle is, that the car may make a plausibilization between the expected current flow (charging) and the actually
|
||||
measured current flow (discharging). The car may stop the complete process, if the deviation is too high or/and too long.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the software will help to explore and understand the behavior of the car.
|
||||
|
||||
### Q3: Is it possible to use this software in a car without CCS, to make it ready for CCS charging?
|
||||
That's is definitely a goal, at it looks reachable. Of course, two aspects need to be considered:
|
||||
- This project is not a final product. Further development will be necessary to ensure compatibility with chargers, and make is flexible for practical use.
|
||||
- Some parts are not covered by this project at all, e.g. communication with the BMS, connector lock, safety considerations.
