For example</div><div><ul><li>as soon as you get to a charge point (eg home or work), the OVMS will detect if it is below 50% and charge it until 50% is achieved</li><li>the OVMS will be told the minimum required soc and when this should be achieved</li><li>it will then wait until the last moment to start charging to achieving the required min soc</li><li>a later version could receive a notification from your Google calendar with required mileage via IFTT, etc</li></ul></div><div>Unfortunately, I don't have the coding skills to implement it but would be happy to do all the non-coding stuff like requirements, design, documentation, testing, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>If this sounds interesting and you would like to find out more please feel free to get back to me for a chat.</div><div><br><div id=""><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><div style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><p style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><font size="3">Regards,<br>Robert Sharpe (Managing Director)<br>07711 252971<br></font></font><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">Skype: arsharpe</span></p><p style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/arsharpe"><img src="cid:0.28873813030.7540754342060529275.1619a742f6e__inline__img__src"></a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/EgcTechnical"><img src="cid:1.28873813030.7943745755705358506.1619a742f6f__inline__img__src"></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EvergreenConsultingLtd"><img src="cid:2.28873813030.2861028251656008315.1619a742f6f__inline__img__src"></a> <a href="http://www.evergreen-consulting.co.uk/staff/skype/rsharpe.html" target="_blank"><img src="cid:3.28873813030.674177209940654919.1619a742f6f__inline__img__src" style="height: 24px; width: 24px;"></a> <a href="http://www.evergreen-consulting.co.uk/staff/calendars/rsharpe.html?utm_campaign=General&utm_source=EmailFooter&utm_medium=Email" target="_blank"><img src="cid:4.28873813030.8267282075598469131.1619a742f70__inline__img__src"></a></p><p style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><a href="http://www.evergreen-consulting.co.uk/?utm_campaign=General&utm_source=EmailFooter&utm_medium=Email" target="_blank"><img src="cid:5.28873813030.1764514474655808338.1619a742f70__inline__img__src"> </a></p><p style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" size="5"><i>Your Plugged-in Partner</i></font></p><p style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><font size="2">Evergreen Consulting is the trading name of Sharpe Consultants Ltd</font></font></p></div></div><div id="ctrlgrid" class="ze_ctrlgrid" style="left: 8px; top: 19.25px; height: 92px; width: 200px;"></div><span class="ze_resize-ctrl-grid" id="east" style="top: 326px; left: 206px; cursor: e-resize;"></span><span class="ze_resize-ctrl-grid" id="west" style="top: 326px; left: 6px; cursor: w-resize;"></span><span class="ze_resize-ctrl-grid" id="north" style="top: 278px; left: 108px; cursor: n-resize;"></span><span class="ze_resize-ctrl-grid" id="south" style="top: 370px; left: 108px; cursor: s-resize;"></span></div></div></div><br></body></html>
