# Vehicles

Vehicles represent electric vehicles in the system. Each vehicle can have one or more access IDs (OCPP ID tags) associated with it, which can be used to represent cases where:

1. A vehicle has multiple charging ports with different MAC IDs
2. A vehicle MAC ID has changed over time, and you wish to maintain the connection to old charging sessions

Attaching an access ID to a vehicle can also be a way to associate an RFID card with the vehicle.

## GET /api/vehicles

Retrieve a list of all electric vehicles.

### Response

The JSON response will contain a `data` field with a list of vehicles, and a `pagination` field containing pagination details.

```ts
{
  data: {
    id: number;
    name: string | null;
    make: string | null;
    model: string | null;
    vin: string | null;
    licensePlate: string | null;
    hasTelematics: boolean;
    customer: {
      name: string;
    } | null;
    accessIds: {
      id: number;
      ocppIdTag: string;
      authorizationStatus: string; // Authorized | Revoked
    }[];
  }[];
  pagination: {
    hasNextPage: boolean;
    nextPageCursor: string | null;
  };
};

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://api-docs.getflipturn.com/vehicles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
