EV Connection Status

[sshaikh]

Trying to ascertain what to expect when plugging in a BMW EV into a charger (but before sending power).

The Connection Status remains Unplugged, so it doesn't seem to sense the plug itself until power is set. This is a bit of a limitation but trying to figure out if it's a BMW limitation or in bimmerconnected.

I suppose BC just reflects the status message returned?

I was using the Home Assistant terms above. The key in bimmer_connected is is_charger_connected.

Confirmed that it's a service issue and the vehicle doesn't know it's connected until it's charging. That's unfortunate.
