Mini CarData (EU Data Act)

Requires CarData activation in BMW/Mini portal. The following data points need to be configured for streaming access:

vehicle.body.chargingPort.status
vehicle.cabin.infotainment.navigation.currentLocation.latitude
vehicle.cabin.infotainment.navigation.currentLocation.longitude
vehicle.cabin.hvac.preconditioning.status.comfortState
vehicle.drivetrain.batteryManagement.header
vehicle.drivetrain.electricEngine.charging.hvStatus
vehicle.drivetrain.electricEngine.charging.status
vehicle.drivetrain.electricEngine.charging.timeRemaining
vehicle.drivetrain.electricEngine.kombiRemainingElectricRange
vehicle.powertrain.electric.battery.stateOfCharge.target
vehicle.vehicle.preConditioning.activity
vehicle.vehicle.travelledDistance

Data will be updated on restart and when received using streaming. This only happens when the vehicle actively creates new updates.

Parameters

Default: car
advanced
phasesMaximum number of phases

The maximum number of phases which can be used

Example: 3
advanced
modeDefault charging mode

Used when a vehicle is connected. Possible values are Off, Now, MinPV and PV, or empty if none should be set

advanced
minCurrent [A]Minimum amperage

The minimum amperage per connected phase that can be used

Example: 6
advanced
maxCurrent [A]Maximum amperage

The maximum amperage per connected phase that can be used

Example: 16
advanced
maxPower [W]Maximum charging power hint

Defines the maximum charging power of the vehicle. Helps improve charge plan accuracy when the vehicle typically uses less than the offered current or supports higher single-phase current compared to three-phase. The offered current of the loadpoint is not affected.

Example: 10000
advanced
identifiersIdentification

Mostly this can be added later, see: https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/features/vehicle

advanced
priorityPriority

Priority of the loadpoint or vehicle in relation to other loadpoints or vehicles for allocating pv energy

advanced
coarsecurrent1A current control

Vehicle supports 1A current steps only

advanced
streamingSupports streaming

Enable if vehicle sends streaming updates during charging.

advanced
welcomechargeCharge on connection

Charger will enable charging for short time when vehicle is connected, irrespective of configured charge mode. This is useful for vehicles that require power supply when connecting.

Configuration example for evcc.yaml

If you don't want to configure via the UI, you can alternatively use this YAML block.
