Smart system shows range of your electric car
A next-generation device for predicting the range of electric vehicles is being introduced by German start-up company mapZero, hosted at ESA Business Incubation Centre Darmstadt, Germany.
The system sets itself apart from other units for showing how far an electrical vehicle can drive. Using satnav input, it calculates in real time the predicted range limits from where you are by taking into consideration the topography in all directions, weather conditions, vehicle parameters and the battery charge remaining.
