Electra’s software improves EV driving range estimates
The EV equivalent of a gas gauge—the range estimator—is notoriously imprecise, so much so that some drivers call it a “guess-o-meter” or “guess gauge.” Obviously, the remaining range of a particular EV on a particular day depends on many factors (speed, traffic conditions, weather). However, it turns out that even estimating a battery’s state of… Read more »
