Meeting notes: Clarify that the reason for plural is that there are two connectors (on plus and minus)

Meeting 02/11/2021:

  • is boolean possible (==no undefined)?
  • Consensus, that it should be singular

High Voltage Traction batteries can typically be disconnected from
the rest of the vehicle. Multiple connectors may exist and may
be handled independently. For example, during charging ground/minus
might be connected but not power/plus.

We got some additional information internally on that connectors for power/plus and ground/minus are handled separately in at least some vehicles, to handle different use cases. A typical example is:

  • Vehicle off, no charging: Both connectors disconnected/open
  • Vehicle off, charging: Ground connector connected/closed, Power connector disconnected/open
  • Vehicle on: Both connectors connected/closed

Based on this we propose to introducing two separate boolean sensor signals.
