ENERGY FLOW
I would like to suggest the implementation of an Energy Flow monitoring screen for REEV vehicles, similar to systems already available on other advanced hybrid and electric models. π― Objective Provide a clear, dynamic, and real-time visualization of the powertrain operation, helping the driver better understand how energy is managed between the different vehicle components. π₯οΈ Screen Description The screen should display an animated graphical diagram including: Internal combustion engine (range extender) Electric motor Battery Drive system (wheels) With animated arrows/flows showing: Direction of energy transfer Intensity (via color, thickness, or animation speed) βοΈ Key Features Real-time visualization of: π Energy flow from battery β electric motor β‘ Energy recovery during braking (regenerative braking) β½ Range extender operation: Charging the battery Possible support to traction (if applicable) π Combined energy distribution between components π Battery state of charge (SOC) π Consumption Monitoring (Key Enhancement) Include detailed energy consumption data, either integrated in the same screen or in a dedicated section: Electric consumption in kW / kWh (instant and average) Fuel consumption in liters / km or L/100 km Optional combined efficiency indicator Historical consumption graph Display of energy recovered via regenerative braking π Suggested UI Design Clean and intuitive interface Clear color coding: Blue β electric energy Green β energy recovery Orange β internal combustion engine Smooth and informative animations Quick access from main menu or βEnergyβ section π Benefits for Users Better understanding of REEV system operation Improved driving efficiency and energy awareness More engaging and high-tech user experience Alignment with industry standards in hybrid/EV competitors β This feature would significantly enhance the user experience, providing transparency on energy management and helping drivers optimize efficiency.
