Power Cruise Control: Range Anxiety Solution for Electric Commercial Vehicles
Power Cruise Control (PCC) is a smart navigation app designed to eliminate range anxiety for electric commercial vehicles, specifically supporting Fiat e-Ducato (47 kWh and 79 kWh models). Unlike other EV apps, PCC offers real-time vehicle data integration.
Key Features:
- Real-time Vehicle Data: Connects directly to your vehicle via a Bluetooth OBDII dongle, providing real-time access to State of Charge (SoC), State of Health (SoH), speed, power consumption, and more.
- Intuitive Interface: Features a clear "Heaven-Hell" indicator, guiding drivers to their destination by visually representing energy consumption. Maintaining the indicator within the optimal range ensures arrival.
- Route Optimization: Considers topography (hills and valleys), planned route, weather (air temperature), and climate control usage to accurately predict energy consumption.
- Charging Station Integration: Displays nearby and en-route charging stations.
Simple Setup and Usage:
- Connect your OBDII dongle.
- Enter your destination.
- Select your energy strategy.
- Follow the Heaven-Hell indicator to reach your destination safely.
Additional Features:
- Customizable units (mph/km/h, Celsius/Fahrenheit).
- Real-time charging connector status (where available from the provider).
- MultiCharge options.
Licensing:
PCC uses a VIN-based licensing system offering:
- Multi-device usage (Android and/or iOS, where available).
- Unlimited user access per licensed vehicle.
- Dealer licensing options for gifts or bulk purchases.
- Continued use of existing licenses when purchasing a used vehicle.
A free 30-day trial is available. The annual subscription is approximately €24 (taxes included), though pricing may vary by region. Contact [email protected] for multi-VIN licenses and OBDII purchases.
