BMW CarData

← Vehicles

Requires CarData activation in BMW/Mini portal. The following data points need to be configured for streaming access (the availability of data points may vary depending on the vehicle model):

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.drivetrain.lastRemainingRange
vehicle.powertrain.electric.battery.stateOfCharge.target
vehicle.powertrain.electric.battery.stateOfCharge.displayed
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

Name	Description	Level
`vin`	Vehicle Identification Number If you own multiple vehicles from the same manufacturer Example: `WBMW...`	optional
`clientid`	Client ID	optional
`title`	Title Will be displayed in the user interface	optional
`capacity` [kWh]	Battery capacity Example: `50`	optional
`icon`	Icon Will be displayed in the user interface Default: `car`	advanced
`phases`	Maximum number of phases Used to determine the minimum solar surplus and plan duration.	advanced
`mode`	Default charging mode Applied when a vehicle is connected. Leave empty to keep the current mode.	advanced
`minCurrent` [A]	Minimum current The minimum current per connected phase that can be used Example: `6`	advanced
`maxCurrent` [A]	Maximum current The maximum current 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
`identifiers`	RFID identification Used to assign the vehicle to a loadpoint via RFID card. The identifier is shown on the loadpoint. Copy the value from there. Learn more.	advanced
`priority`	Priority Priority of the loadpoint or vehicle in relation to other loadpoints or vehicles for allocating surplus energy (higher values, higher priority).	advanced
`coarsecurrent`	1A current control Vehicle supports 1A current steps only	advanced
`streaming`	Supports streaming Enable if vehicle sends streaming updates during charging.	advanced
`welcomecharge`	Charge 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.	advanced
`climaterdisabled`	Disable climater detection Ignore the vehicle's climater state for charge control, so charging stops at the SoC or energy limit even when the vehicle signals an active climater request.	advanced

Configuration example for evcc.yaml

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