I now have a few feature requests for the stats available on the "Trips" screen. While I recognize not everyone would necessarily want to see this information, I imagine there is information already being displayed that not everyone wants to see. I would hope additional information would not bother anyone too much.
The additional information I would like to see for each trip is rated miles used, kWh used, Avg Wh/mi, and, if possible, average outside temperature for the trip. A special added bonus would be average cabin temperature for the trip, though I admittedly don't know if that would even be possible.
The first three are metrics that I've been tracking, and I expect others have as well, largely because they are available easily from the car. I doubt anyone would raise an eyebrow at those three being added.
My wife and I reset one of the trip meters before beginning the trip, note the rated miles, take a picture of the trips screen at the end of the trip, and note the rated range remaining, so that we may subtract to figure the rated range used. We "guesstimate" at the outside temperature, by checking the temperature periodically. We note what we have the cabin temp set to, and generally don't change it during a trip so that we don't complicate our results. (At least I don't change it, and she tells me she doesn't.) I then enter all the data into a spreadsheet, and compare the results to EV Trip Planner expected results. (The temperatures are necessary for EV Trip Planner.) We also attempt to record an approximate wind speed and direction, as well as other weather conditions.
If EVMote / Project Cartesia (what is the proper name for this project anyway?) started recording all the information requested above, the only thing we would still need to record would be wind and other weather conditions. (And cabin temperature if cabin temperature is not included.)
Thanks in advance for considering these additions to Trips recording.
