# Create vehicle make

Create a new vehicle make in the ev.energy system, for a driver whose car's make isn't listed.
Newly created makes are hidden by default and must be reviewed before becoming visible. If a make with the same name already exists, hidden or not and in any letter case, it is returned with a `200` instead of creating a duplicate. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.
An invalid request returns a `400` with the `validation-failed-create-vehicle-make` problem type.

Endpoint: POST /vehicle_makes
Version: 2.0
Security: oauth2

## Security:

  - `oauth2` (unknown)
    oauth2 scopes: vehicle:write

## Header parameters:

  - `EvEnergy-Version` (number)
    Specify the version of this endpoint to use.

  - `EvEnergy-User` (string)
    If the client is authenticated using Client Credentials, setting EvEnergy-User to a valid user ID allows requests to be made as if you were directly authenticated as that user.

## Request fields (application/json):

  - `name` (string, required)
    The name of the vehicle make.
    Example: Rolls-Royce

## Response 200:

  - `200` (unknown)
    A make with this name already exists (compared without regard to case); returns it.

## Response 200 fields (application/json):

  - `id` (string, required)
    Unique identifier for the given Vehicle Make.
    Example: vmak01HRFHBCM7VBSWRPVYFBQMH2BR

  - `onboarding_url` (string | null, required)
