Looking for feedback or help sharing a newly launched and free online EV Trip Planner. http://justgetthere.me It takes a range of different variables into account when calculating the battery drain for the trip such as distance, speed, temp, climate controls and weather conditions.
I have been an EV owner for over 2 years after purchasing an electric Smart4Two back in 2015. Embracing the electric vehicle mentality has been seamless experience and with a definite positive impact on the pocket book. That said, living in Ottawa Canada, with its dramatic temperature fluctuations and extreme weather conditions I found the range of the car can fluctuate dramatically. This, coupled with the limited range of the SmartCar (~145km) has resulted in some white knuckle drives home as the battery needle creeps down into the red zone.
To help alleviate some of this stress for myself and my family, I created this tool to better plan trips within the city and ensure we don’t get caught out again. We have been using it for several months and find it quite useful and feel it's worth sharing with the internet at large.
There are a lot of features and ideas I want to integrate into the product so if you feel like donating to development costs please do so on the website.
