  title: Smartcar Vehicles Charging API
  description: The Smartcar Vehicles API provides a standardized REST interface for accessing connected vehicle data and sending commands to vehicles across multiple OEMs through a single integration. Retrieve signals such as battery level, odometer, location, fuel, engine oil life, and lock status, or issue commands like lock/unlock doors, start/stop charging, set charge limits, and set navigation destinations. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with user-granted permissions per vehicle.
