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 like the Fiat e-Ducato (47 kWh and 79 kWh models). Unlike other EV apps, PCC offers real-time vehicle data integration and predictive analytics for confident travel planning.
Key PCC Advantages:
- Real-time Vehicle Data: Connects directly to your vehicle via a Bluetooth OBDII dongle, providing real-time access to crucial data, including State of Charge (SoC), State of Health (SoH), speed, power consumption, and more.
- Intuitive Interface: Features a clear, user-friendly "Heaven-Hell" indicator that guides drivers to their destination, ensuring sufficient charge remains. Following PCC's guidance is key to a successful trip.
- Advanced Route Planning: Considers topography (hills, valleys), planned route, and environmental factors (temperature, A/C/heating use) to provide highly accurate energy consumption predictions. Regenerative braking during downhill driving is also factored into calculations.
- Charging Station Integration: Identifies nearby and en-route charging stations.
Easy to Use:
- Connect your OBDII adapter.
- Input your destination.
- Select your energy strategy.
- Follow the Heaven-Hell indicator to reach your destination.
PCC ensures safe and reliable journeys by helping maintain optimal energy consumption. The app supports mph/km/h and Celsius/Fahrenheit.
MultiCharge Support: The app now includes real-time connector status updates (where available from the provider).
Requirements and Licensing:
PCC requires a Bluetooth OBDII adapter. A recommended official adapter is available at https://amzn.eu/f49WbjO. Other adapters may work, but are not fully tested. (Note: If the Italian Amazon link doesn't work for your region, try the German Amazon link: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08PL2F11P/?&language=en_GB)
Licensing is VIN-specific, providing:
- Multi-device usage (Android and/or iOS, where available).
- Unlimited user access per vehicle (ideal for families or fleets).
- Option to purchase a license as a gift through your car dealer.
- Continued license usage on used vehicles (if previously licensed).
A free 30-day trial is included. The annual subscription fee is approximately €24 (tax included), though pricing may vary by region. Bulk licensing options are available for dealers and distributors. Contact [email protected] for more information.
