How to pair to your vehicle’s app account (API connection)

Some car manufacturers provide an API (Application Programming Interface) which allows access to information about your car via your manufacturer’s app. Providing your login details in the Ohme app allows Ohme to see your car’s current state of charge, which is then used to work out how much charge you need. This feature is currently available for a limited number of brands. If your brand isn’t listed, Ohme won’t be able to see your car’s state of charge. API support is currently available for the following brands:

• Audi
• BMW
• Cupra
• Hyundai
• Kia
• Mini
• Nissan
• Renault
• Skoda
• Tesla
• Volkswagen
• Volvo

You can connect to your vehicle’s app account via the following steps:

1. In the Ohme App, tap Settings > My EV
2. Tap ‘Pair my brand’
3. Tap Continue to read more information regarding API integration until you reach the login page for your vehicle’s app
4. Enter the login details for your vehicle’s app account
5. Select your vehicle model from the list provided
6. Tap ‘Done’ to finish.

Once you are logged in, you’ll be able to see the current battery level in your vehicle on the My EV page of the Ohme App.

If for any reason you would like to stop Ohme from being able to retrieve the battery level inside the vehicle you can choose to ‘Unpair your EV’. This will mean Ohme assumes the battery is 0% each time you plug in.

Finally, on the Charging page of the Ohme app, you’ll see the battery level front and centre when a session is in progress. Ohme will check in with your car at regular intervals throughout the session to ensure the target is reached.
