the idtag is an abstract term in the ocpp spec. it can be an rfid card tag, but it can also be a vin. it is just a string that identifies the user. in that respect, it is the charging station's responsibility to map a vin to idtag and use it in the ocpp operations. there is no changes necessary in steve.
