Vehicle data transfer - Peugeot e-208, MY 2020

[xrxcx]

Hi,
I have a question about how vehicle data is transmitted in the PSA ecosystem.

How are trip and charging data transferred from the car to the PSA servers?
Is this data always sent via the car’s embedded modem, or only locally via Bluetooth through the MyPeugeot app?

The MyPeugeot app states that data is transferred locally via Bluetooth. However, in my case trips and charging are usually not shown at all.

Interestingly, one single trip was shown once, but this trip did not actually happen.
So I’m wondering:

Where did this data come from?

Why was it sent only once?

Can this behavior be influenced or triggered (e.g. by app usage, login, Bluetooth sync)?

I have enabled the -r and -c options in psa_car_controller, but this did not change anything — which would make sense if my car does not send any trip or charging data to the cloud at all.

Does this depend on the model year?
Is there a minimum model year required for trips/charging data to be available on PSA servers?
For example, Tronity does not differentiate by model year. This would indicate that some data is transmitted to PSA servers after all, contrary to what the app claims.

My vehicle: Peugeot e-208, model year 2020.

Is there any way to verify directly and in real time what data Peugeot has stored for my vehicle?
For example, is there any official or unofficial way to access the same backend data that the MyPeugeot app or PSA APIs use, in order to see exactly which trip or charging data exists on the server?

I’m trying to understand what is technically possible and what is not.

Thanks!

Hi,
happen to have e208 too, to keep it short.
App synces via Bluetooth, you only see trips that you have driven if your phone was paired with teh card during that drive.
PSACC fetches data form Stelantis servers where your car sends it using it built in modem. For e208 unfortunately, all you get for trips is starting and ending position, no regular points in tiem the car has been to drap path of your journey on the map. But it gets teh distance too, so it is good for overall info about trips made Mapping option can't relaly be fully used since not enough data form Peuogeot fro this.
If you create your Peugeot login, you will see what services are offered for your car. You should be able to get trips (although coordinates for start/finish may not be there) and chargings as well as your battery state so PSACC can be used to controll your charging and prevent overcharging (as long as car does have access to GSM network to keep online towards Stelantis servers)
