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 and predictive capabilities.
Key Features:
- Real-time Vehicle Data: Connects to your vehicle via a Bluetooth OBDII dongle, providing real-time data on State of Charge (SoC), State of Health (SoH), speed, power consumption, and more.
- Intuitive Interface: Features a clear "Heaven-Hell" indicator to guide drivers and ensure arrival at the destination. Maintaining the indicator within the optimal range is crucial.
- Route Optimization: Considers topography (hills and valleys), route planning, and environmental factors (temperature, A/C/heating use) to accurately predict energy consumption.
- Charging Station Integration: Displays nearby and en-route charging stations.
How to Use PCC:
- Connect your OBDII dongle.
- Set 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.
Requirements and Licensing:
- Requires a Bluetooth OBDII adapter (an official PCC adapter is recommended and available at https://amzn.eu/f49WbjO). Other adapters may work but aren't fully tested. If the Italian Amazon link doesn't work for you, try the German Amazon link: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08PL2F11P/?&language=en_GB
- Licensing is VIN-specific, offering:
- Multi-device usage (Android and/or iOS, where available).
- Unlimited user access per vehicle.
- Dealer licensing options.
- Transferable licensing for used vehicles (remaining license period).
- Includes a 30-day free trial.
- Annual subscription fee of approximately €24 (tax included), though pricing may vary by region. Bulk licensing for dealers and distributors is also available. Subscription activates upon first OBDII connection.
