QSprung is developing ERouter, an innovative driving assistance system for electric vehicles. ERouter consistently combines route planning, precise route energy estimates, energy efficient routing and reliable information on the charging infrastructure to help you get the most out of your EV.
ERouter has left the prototype phase and is approaching beta stage. It reads real-time data from the car via a Bluetooth Adapter that is plugged on the ODB2 connector. ODB2 connectivity is currently available for Renault ZOE (Phase 1 and Phase 2) as well as Nissan Leaf. There’s also a simulation mode that allows using part of ERouter’s functionality with car’s where ODB2 connectivity is not yet available. QSprung’s final vision is to have the car makers provide direct Bluetooth connectivity for accessing real-time data from the car.
It’s a new kind of driving assistance. There’s no such thing as a “remaining range”, because there’s really no such thing. You tell ERouter where you want to go, and ERouter assists you to make sure you get there fast and reliable.
