DownloadPower Cruise Control: Optimize Your Electric Commercial Vehicle's Range
Power Cruise Control (PCC) is a smart navigation app designed to eliminate range anxiety for electric commercial vehicles like the Fiat e-Ducato (47 kWh and 79 kWh models). Unlike other EV apps, PCC offers:
- Real-time vehicle data: Connects directly to your vehicle via a Bluetooth OBDII dongle, providing real-time data on State of Charge (SoC), State of Health (SoH), speed, power consumption, and more.
- Intuitive driver interface: Features a clear "Heaven-Hell" indicator to guide efficient energy use and ensure arrival at your destination. Following PCC's guidance is crucial for reliable range prediction.
- Route optimization: Considers topography (hills and valleys), planned route, and environmental factors (temperature, A/C/heating use) to accurately predict energy consumption, accounting for regenerative braking.
- Charging station integration: Identifies nearby and en-route charging stations.
Using PCC is straightforward:
- Connect your OBDII dongle.
- Input your destination.
- Select your desired energy strategy.
- Follow the Heaven-Hell indicator to reach your destination safely.
PCC helps maintain optimal energy consumption throughout your journey. New features include MultiCharge options with real-time connector status updates (where available from the provider). The app supports mph/km/h and Celsius/Fahrenheit.
Requirements and Licensing:
PCC requires a Bluetooth OBDII adapter. A recommended adapter is available at https://amzn.eu/f49WbjO. Other adapters may work, but aren't fully tested. (For users outside the Italian Amazon marketplace, try the German marketplace: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08PL2F11P/?&language=en_GB)
Licensing is VIN-specific and offers:
- Multi-device use (Android and/or iOS, where available).
- Unlimited user access per vehicle.
- Option for dealer-purchased licensing.
- Continued use with a licensed used vehicle (for the remaining license period).
A free 30-day trial is included. The annual subscription fee is approximately €24 (taxes included), though pricing may vary by region. Contact [email protected] for multi-VIN licensing for dealers and distributors. Subscription activates upon the first OBDII connection.
