What is can4eve?

can4eve

• is a software for electric vehicles
• it reads, analyzes, visualizes, stores and replays CAN bus data from the vehicle taken via an OBDII adapter
• is an open source software project see https://github.com/BITPlan/can4eve

Supported Vehicles

as of 2017-06 only Triplet cars: Mitsubishi i-Miev, Citroën C-Zero, Peugeot-Ion are supported

Supported OBDII-Adapters

1. OBDLink_SX
2. OBDLink_LX (via rfcomm on Linux!)
3. ELM327_China_USB (not recommended/limited/use at own risk!)
4. VGate_ICar_2 (not recommended/limited/use at own risk!)

Supported Platforms

can4eve is written in Java It has been tested on

• Raspberry PI
• MacOS

An Android version is in preparation.

Since Apple does not support Java on the iPhone and since Microsoft does not support Java on some of its environments can4eve would have to be ported to run in these environments. Currently there are no concrete plans to work around this. Since can4eve uses JavaFX it is certainly feasible to get an iPhone and other ports. Oracle mobile might also be a future option to support many more mobile devices.

State of the project

• the software is in alpha - experimental state - it has only been tested with a handful of vehicles so far
• as of 2017-06-07 the software is not available for endusers yet.
• As an interested developer you can follow the Installation instructions.
• We are looking for alpha testers see e.g. german Triplet and Outlander PHEV forum
• https://github.com/BITPlan/can4eve/issues/4 is been worked on see Simple Report

EVBatMon

Our App not only gives you access to internal information at your fingertips, it will also track the health of the Li On drive battery over time and against distance.

LeafSpy

Leaf Spy Lite lets a Nissan Leaf owner view detailed information about their Leaf's battery by plugging in an inexpensive ELM-327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter into the standard OBDII port on the Leaf. ELM-327 Bluetooth adapters are available on eBay for around $10-$20 and one is required before Leaf Spy Lite can display information from your Leaf.

TM-Spy

TM-Spy uses a standard ELM 327 type Bluetooth or WiFi OBDII adapter to decode information from the CAN service plug located below the center display screen. Check the internet for how to access this cable and the specifications for the custom adapter cable required to go from the Tesla 12 pin connector to the standard 16 pin OBDII connector which the ELM 327 adapter plugs into.
