Hi All,
I have an idea that will help prolong the life of EV batteries and maximise vehicle resale value.
In summary it involves implementing intelligent charging that keeps the battery at 50% (the best soc for long term storage) for as long a possible and minimises depth of charge and discharge. For example
- 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
- the OVMS will be told the minimum required soc and when this should be achieved
- it will then wait until the last moment to start charging to achieving the required min soc
- a later version could receive a notification from your Google calendar with required mileage via IFTT, etc
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.
If this sounds interesting and you would like to find out more please feel free to get back to me for a chat.
