Will there be an OBD port? What do other EV's have?

Way back I used to use an old 7" android tablet, a bluetooth obd adapter and an app called Torque to show all vital gauges and other info like mileage. Used it on a trip or two in the wife's car. Do other EV's have obd ports and if so, what info do they report? Engine RPM and temp maybe?

Definitely. Plus a built in oil change reminder!

Some EVs have the standard port, some dont, not sure that you’d get the dashboard look like you could with an internal combustion engine

that type of info could possibly be available on your phone app or tablet app

I have an OBD port on my Kia EV6. I have attached a Bluetooth scanner to the port to allow the ABRP (A Better Route Planner) app full access to the battery status. ABRP is much better than the Kia OEM software for charger station recommendations.

My Leaf had and my Fiat 500e has ODB-II ports. There was a cool app called Leaf Spy that would show you all sorts of battery stats.
