Technical OBD port location in 600e

My first question about my Fiat 600e: where is the OBD port?
I've seen a picture for the LHD version, but that's not useful.
I'd like to use ODB to connect to ABRP (A better route planner) to keep it informed about battery status.

Any ideas?

Manufacturers are required to place the OBD II port within three feet of the driver and to make the port accessible without any tools. It is typically located beneath the steering wheel, within the footwell. There are other instances where the connector is behind a cover panel to make its appearance more appealing.

Maybe a silly question, but it's not in the same place on the passenger side?

I found it. Hidden behind the glove compartment.
I posted a guide for future reference.
