I made an app to reduce range anxiety

[Technonotice]

I was worried about a trip the other day as my home charger still hadn't been installed and following a granny charge the day before I'd needed to take my daughter out and back.

I looked at where I was going, no charge point for miles around and would need a detour but wondered whether I'd make it there and back.

Got home after stopping at McDonald's and using a fast charger while waiting for my order to be brought to me in the car - isn't life grand
..

Then I made this...

ev-range-planner

ev.gpautoservices.co.uk

It's still being tweaked to get more of the current MG range in, but I don't think it's too bad a start

 

[Bam Bam]

Very impressive.

Would it be possible to add a box for 'return trip' to see if you could get there and back?

 

[Technonotice]

If you put the journey in, there is a note near the bottom that tells you whether you can make it home or not

 

[Technonotice]

And let's you know where the nearest charge point is and who operates it

 

[Jomarkh]

That looks great.
One nice to have is a tab to use Electroverse only?

I got as far as 'Make' but my MG4 ER isn't included in the model list yet.

Just saying lads!

Fair comment mate.
But if I don't have oil under my fingernails. Folk assume I've had a period of illness. That's kept me out of the garage

@Technonotice, I've noticed you've got the MG4 Long Range as 77kWh, it should be 64kWh, the Extended Range is 77kWh.

Thanks for that info - I will gather a few updates and do them in one go or I'll never have time to do any actual work

What virus checker do you use? it is hosted on my hostpapa account where I have a lot of others - do it mention what it thinks is unsafe?

 

[JohnV6]

It is McAfee. It just says the site may be unsafe. If you trust it click to carry on.
I did and it does work

Range anxiety is a thing invented by Toyota to scare people away from buying EVs and push them towards hybrids, so that they (Toyota) could continue making a fortune out of the unreliability and regular servicing needs of the ICE.

It doesn't really exist, any more than it does in ICE cars.

I think it only exists in ice cars, why else would they insist on telling us my car can do 600 miles.

@Technonotice, it doesn't open the app at all on my Android phone with Samsung Internet or Chrome. Does it need addons for mobile internet

It was a joke Rolfe.
Do you remember them? They were popular before some folk were offended/bothered by ridiculous things

BTW...
Every taxi driver that chose a Toyota Prius over a full EV may well disagree with you.
