I'm Daniel Santos, the developer of an Android App called the "PHEV Watchdog" (freely available on the playstore)
It's essentially a monitoring tool which retrieves through the communication OBD2 port the car's data and shows this on the App.
It will show the actual battery status (charge, health, voltage, temperature, etc...), cells, e-motors, and engine.
It will also keep track of the battery degradation and all your trips recorded with the App.
Beside that, the App syncs to a online server which consolidates all data between all users.
Look for https://phevwatchdog.net website and to see the live data, use user: showme password: showme)
I've developed this for the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but lately I've been asked by other to support the Hyundai/KIA PHEV models.
So for the last couple of months with the help of some users I've been modifying the App to support the Niro PHEV, Ioniq PHEV and Optima PHEV.
I'm at testing phase right now and it's going well. I'm debugging the App with the scripts that some users have provided and it's looking good.
Example screenshots from a Niro PHEV:
So just a couple of days more of testing and I'll be sending the first beta to the users who are collaborating.
No I'm not but that's cause it doesn't work in my hybrid. Also still wondering if you will start making the app work for the cars that are in the forum you are posting in?
I understand that it is designed for the PHEV's and as stated before it looks like a wonderful app. Do you have plans on opening support for our HEV's? The app already half works with my 2013 so I'm hoping it would be fairly easy to add our vehicles.
wow op, this is pretty cool. what have your beta users been saying about it? what have they experienced while using it? great job on making an app, its really hard to do.
Looking forward to trying this out. Picking up a 2017 Optima Hybrid PHEV next Thursday. I had a 2014 Optima EX which i loved but the poor thing spun a bearing on Monday and seized. It had 135,000 miles and No I was dumb and chose not to take it in for the recall which very well could have caught the problem during the warranty period. thats on me and I dont blame Kia at all because they caught their mistake and I chose to ignore it. Anywho Im excited as I like the Optima platform and always thought that PHEV made most sense for me. This app will get tested by me for sure.
Im wondering - and I see others have the same thought what the future holds for the Optima PHEV because I love the idea of adding more battery capacity to it - maybe as much as double, but I cant find anything about it online.
Presumably It uses a bluetooth OBD adaptor? I already have one they are a lifesaver
