Electric vehicle support

Hi,

I am newbie to this group - so please go gently with me ;-)


As way of an introduction, we are developing an electric vehicle route planning system that needs remote access to vehicles to return current battery and charging status, etc.


After looking at the W3C API spec it looks like some of the values can be returned via existing parameters.  However, it seems to be missing support for the following key electric vehicle functionality.

      Charger info (rather than battery info)
            charger_pilot_current
            charger_actual_current
            charger_power         
            fast_charger_present
      Charging control
            Set Charge Limit
            Get Charge Limit
            Start Charging
            Stop Charging
      Fuel temperature by zone (to cover battery temperature)



So I have a couple of questions
      a) Is anyone looking at updating the spec to fully support electric vehicles?
      b) Which manufacturers are adopting the standard?
      c) Who is waiting for the manufacturers to implement the standard?


Look forward to hearing from the group.
