    I just assumed they had an OBD-II port

    Honestly it’s such a stupid idea to not have a standard diagnostic port in there especially considering the standard has already existed for over 20 years

      My BYD Atto 3 does. It’ll tell me battery cell voltages, highest cell voltage, lowest cell voltage, highest cell temperature, lowest cell temperature, maximum power, overall pack voltage, pack current, 12V battery voltage.

      There’s a fair bit of data there.
