Go to topicGerman start-up company mapZero has developed a system for predicting the range of electric vehicles. Using satellite navigation services, the application calculates in real time the predicted range from where you are by taking into consideration the topography in all directions, weather conditions, vehicle parameters and the battery charge remaining.
mapZero developed the system with the support of ESA Technology Transfer Programme’s Business Incubation Centre Darmstadt.
