Smart EV Routing: Optimized Navigation and Charging Solutions for EV's

Fueled by connected car data and AWS IoT Technologies, WirelessCar’s Smart EV Routing API reduces both charge and range anxiety by providing specifically tailored navigation tools that match the electric vehicle (EV) driver’s needs. The product ensures that drivers of EVs gets all the information they need to make their journey as smooth and efficient as possible.

Smart EV Routing enables OEMs to provide an in-car navigation experience specifically tailored to the EV drivers’ needs, along with the flexibility to use the map provider and charging networks of their choice.

Smart EV Routing uses the specific vehicle model’s charging curve capapbility combined with live data from the vehicle and environment to provide the most optimized route.

Smart EV Routing is delivered as a managed service running on AWS.

Benefits

Smart EV Routing provides vehicle makers with the essential tools needed to alleviate the challenges electric vehicle drivers face during long distance journeys. By addressing these consumer pain points, the OEM builds its brand and increases its credibility while taking advantage of our agnostic and flexible product.

• Accurate routing guidance—Our route optimization is based on a state-of-the-art algorithm and continuously updated dynamic vehicle data, enabling drivers to know when, and for how long they need to charge with confidence.
• Includes the most relevant parameters—Eliminate potential frustrations during longer journeys. Drivers can optimize their trip based on total time or other preferences.
• Content provider agnostic—OEMs can use the content providers of their choice when it comes to map provider and Charging Point Operators (CPO) and Mobility Service Providers (MSP).
• Data agnostic and flexible in its design—OEMs enjoy multiple integration options and can use existing data providers to meet specific customer demand.
• Unified experience in-car and on a smartphone app—The product can deliver a seamless and intuitive experience in the car’s head-unit and on the customer’s mobile device.
• Cloud-based and scalable—The product is designed to ensure consistent top performance regardless of the number of active vehicles.
• Configurable for both the vehicle maker and the driver—Drivers can choose between quickest arrival, short or long stops in combination with preferred charging level (SOC%) for each stop and arrival at destination. OEMs can use their preferred networks and set recommended default parameters.

Key Features

Route optimization

Our API offers several customization options that can be exposed to end-users or adapted based on vehicle/make model. For example, balancing the fastest time of arrival with a preference for longer/shorter charge stops, or a desired maximum speed to make sure vehicle consumption efficiency is maximized, preferences for certain charge cards, or networks, among other things. This enables end-user route optimization according to several preference levels.

Vehicle consumption calibration

While the consumption characteristics of a vehicle model can be relatively accurately modeled, individual factors such as driver behavior, weather, or attaching a ski box to the car can drastically affect consumption. By continuously calibrating the consumption model of each individual vehicle, and optimizing the route accordingly, we can achieve far more accurate routes and range predictions. This results in eliminating the uncertainties about the actual range—as well as when and where to charge.
