EV-Can

[aless1616]

I own a 2020 Nissan Leaf and I want to access the EV-CAN in order to avoid using nissan services to use the SoC in my own IoT projects.
I couldn't find anything on where I can find the EV-CAN line (under the hood would be nice).
Does someone know an easily accessible location for the EV-CAN specifically?

There are many existing threads on the Leaf Can bus (going back to 2011).
Access is through the ODB-II connector under the dash, but it is my understanding that Nissan has disabled much of the CAN messaging/access for Gen2 Leafs (post-2017), preventing the use of third-party solutions like OVMS.

I think i've seen every thread talking about the CAN bus in the nissan leaf and yes I understood what you're saying right now and that's precisely the reason I'm asking where can I find a direct access to the EV-Can on newer models, I want to skip the part of the OBD port and just go and connect directly to the EV-Can without any controller in between.
