You are the proud owner of an electric car. Then you probably recognise the following. Always have in the back of your mind whether the end goal is feasible with the battery load you have. Do you need to recharge on the way, or not? All circumstances during the drive affect consumption. Smart EV Routing from WirelessCar takes all variables into account.
WirelessCar - a collaboration of Volkswagen and Volvo - brings together various data and continuously calculates the impact on the car's consumption. If necessary, there is active route adjustment, so you never run out of 'juice'.
External factors
The complexity of optimising the route during longer trips remains an obstacle for many people. Electric vehicles all charge at different speeds. External factors such as weather, road conditions and altitude also affect the car's energy consumption and range in unpredictable ways. Today's charging infrastructure also needs to grow to meet the increasing demand from EV drivers.
Drivers can now hit the road with peace of mind. Not only do they have charging locations, but specific vehicle data and personal route preferences are taken into account? In any case, this partnership between manufacturers Volvo and Volkswagen aims to make the journey as optimal as possible.
Of course, the question is whether the lack of this technology will cause EV sales to stagnate in the future. Or perhaps even decline. At the same time, being able to use it does represent a very nice step towards sustainable car use.
Supplier WirelessCar is a major player worldwide. WirelessCar has more than 8 million connected cars in more than 100 countries. And has extensive knowledge about driving behaviour and applicability. That knowledge is used in the development of new sustainable products.
