No listing for a BYD 1st gen or CUSTOM EV feature, why?
Hi your list of cars in extensive but you will ALWAYS be caught at at some point…for example I have a 1st gen BYD e6 less range and only AC charging Cannot just substitute the 2nd gen with CCS there bye rendering the app useless in my case. I cant even create a CUSTOM car like you can in PlugShare so I’m screwed…and what about all the folks who have made classic cars as EV’s

Hi
If you want to request a new model you can do that under the option Vehicle request. You need to specify the following:
- Usable Battery Capacity
- Range (WLTP is preferred)
- Weight
- Dimensions (Height, Width, Length)
- Coefficient of Drag
- Coefficient of Rolling Resistance
We can build a model based on only a partial set of these, but the more data you can provide the better the model will be. For charging, at least some of the following data is needed:
- Peak Charge Power
- Charge Time (including start/end %)
- Plot of Power vs SoC %

So where is this vechile request hidden? And why would it not be in the car selector?

It is also in the car selector. If you search for a model we don’t have you will get this message:
