Electric car test. New app measures habits.

Jul 27, 2011 | new, producer, sustainable |
advertisement



How do you know if making the move to an electric car will work for you? It may depend where you live, if there are charging stations within your battery range limitations, your driving habits, and your lifestyle. And it’s an expensive proposition at the moment as the battery alone accounts for $10,000 of the purchase. There’s a new app that can measure your driving habits and needs to help make the decision to move all out to an EV or hybrid.

the new app is Virtual Test Drive that operates on your smartphone, compiling data every time you drive your car.

Drivers can log onto Virtual Test Drive’s website and view where they have recently driven and see range issues and cost savings. The company also compiles all data and could be a resource for future EV infrastructure development.

At the moment the app is only available to beta testers. If you want to check out the app yourself, sign up here
