Support for Kia eSoul III, built from 2020/2021?
Hello everyone,
Can someone tell me whether the module also works for the e-Soul III, built in 2021? It shares the base with the Kia Niro.
Unfortunately, ours is without "Kia Connect" and I'm looking for a solution on how to get to the SOC live. We charge our two EVs with excess PV using a solution that I think is very good, evcc (also opeb soure). evcc has an integration with ovms.

Disappointed about the OVMS module and charging handling
The norwegian goverment have introduced a power peak fee. That means if my hot water heater is turning on, and some oven is also on, I need to reduce my charging power, and restart it later. This is working very good at the moment.
But OVMS cant handle it! When I stop the charging (its controlled from the charging box), ovms reports charging finished, even at 35% SOC. When I 1-2 hours later restart the charging it reports on the event topic 'charging.done' and 'charging.preparing', but still the charging topic and so on are still reporting off.
