One word of caution though: Some of the cheap OBDII bluetooth dongles (knockoffs) might not support CAN bus properly. It pays to get the same dongle as someone you know. Then they can suggest exact versions that work. Otherwise it might be hit or miss. Though, I've had decent luck just picking at random. Electric cars are not going to be using anything other than CAN on their OBDII ports.
