Meeting Minutes

Antitrust Accepted
Meeting minutes reviewed and accepted.
Homework Review
- Weight of vehicle is not a value in the BMS
  - We do have a Tow Type Code List (Light Duty, Medium Duty, Heavy Duty, Motorcycle)
  - Tow has VehicleInfo, Additional Info and the Code List Values to say the type of Tow and category.
- Vehicle Info
  - Has VIN but each manufacturer can use the codes to identify as they wish and they do not standardize electric or type
    - Tesla uses 7 for Battery Type and 8 for number of engines.
    - Mitsubishi uses 7 for Type of Vehicle and 8 for engine.
  - VehicleType under VehicleDescription (Passenger Car, Light Duty Tuck, Motorcycle)
  - Powertrain
    - Engine/Part/Options
    - Fuel Type Code list (Includes Electric and Hybrid)
Conclusion of Homework
- VIN, the placement of the values has meanings, but the digits and the codes are manufacturer specific, so there is no way to say J in position 7 is for an EV.
- To identify EV Add
  - Tow Type Code List add EV and Hybrid
  - Fuel Type Code List may need more specific additions so different type of EV and Hybrid (PlugIn)
  - Vehicle Type needs Electric Vehicle and Hybrid added
- We need to Vehicle Weight to VehicleInfo in the BMS/API Data Specification, this will help with correct towing vehicles to be sent and help identify shops that have the equipment to handle these heavier vehicles. We need to make sure that the equipment is not only safe for the technicians but for the vehicles since they are normally flat on bottom and require special tools.
  - Rivian Truck weights around 7,200 pounds
  - Hummer weighs around 10,000 pounds
  - Lucid sedan weighs 5,200 pounds
- Add a battery aggregate -
