Suppose we are going to a specific location (A to B) and we navigated to B from A.
It would be really nice to display the predicted battery SOC which will be left once we reach B.
Also show if round trip (A to B and then B to A) is possible with the current battery status or not.
If not then create a new suggested route which connects to the optimum grid location on the route and as the charging speed of grid is know, we can calculate the time which we have to charge and add this up to the ETA of reaching B (Or A in case of round Trip)
This will not only make use of the network of Ather Grids but also reduce Range Anxiety which every EV owner has
If this seems too complex to users you may introduce a Long Drive mode?
I’m no software engineer but that doesn’t sound too difficult to make. But we still have some way to go considering the fact that at present, the grid points are not even displayed in the order of the distance to the scooter location. Your request is pretty much in line with what tesla alrrady has. If you’ve time (30 mins), watch this video where he’s covered that feature in good detail
That was my favourite chapter in Operations Research
That’s the Ather Grid app. I was talking about the Ather app (and the scooter dashboard) . It’s just a random list. Neither is it sorted by date of installation, nor distance. It’s not even in Alphabetical order.
Yeah, true. Scratching my head on this since Day 1. Never understood the logic of ordering. Listing them based on distance as per GPS location seems rather easy to implement since our location & route info are RIGHT THERE in the app…
While using GPS , the google Maps hangs . I suggest you can use waze or someother app . And one more suggestion is please Add sound for GPS notification ( like we have for indicators ) in peak hour traffic it is diffuclt to see the dashboard sudeenly .
