Mode
Full qualified VSS Path: Vehicle.Powertrain.TractionBattery.Charging.Mode
Description: Control of the charge process. MANUAL means manually initiated (plug-in event, companion app, etc). TIMER means timer-based. GRID means grid-controlled (eg ISO 15118). PROFILE means controlled by profile download to vehicle.
Comment: The mechanism to provide a profile to the vehicle is currently not covered by VSS.

About VSS

The Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) is an initiative by COVESA to define a syntax and a catalog for vehicle signals. The source code and releases can be found in the VSS github repository.

Supported datatypes

The following is a list of VSS supported built-in datatypes:

Name Type Min Max
