What's new?
Live Charging Activity (iOS only)
The feature in the Charge Assist iOS App provides real-time updates during active charging sessions, enabling users to monitor and manage their vehicle’s charging status without the need to open the App
Key Features:
The feature displays essential information about the ongoing charging session for real time monitoring, including: Charging Location: The specific station where the vehicle is charging.
- Energy Delivered: The amount of energy supplied to the vehicle, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Charging Duration: The elapsed time since the charging session started.
- Session Control: Allows users to stop the charging session by being early redirected to the App, providing convenient control without needing to navigate through the app.
Dynamic Island (iPhone 14 Pro and newer):
For devices equipped with Dynamic Island (learn more about 'Dynamic Island' here) and running iOS 17 or later , live charging information is displayed prominently at the top of the screen, ensuring users have real-time updates at a glance.
Users can long-press to expand the activity for more detailed information or tap to be redirected to the app’s active charging session interface, where they can manage the session, including stopping it if desired.
Notifications (Earlier iPhone models):
On models without the Dynamic Island, live charging updates appear as interactive notifications. These notifications allow users to view charging details and access the active charging session within the app for further management.
This feature enhances user convenience by providing seamless access to critical charging information and controls, tailored to the capabilities of their specific iOS device. By integrating with both the Dynamic Island and standard notification systems, Charge Assist ensures a consistent and efficient user experience across all supported iPhone models.
Focus on nearest charging location
Charge Assist enhances user experience by automatically displaying the nearest charging location upon launch, streamlining the process for drivers to locate and utilize charging points.
When the app is opened, it immediately shows the closest charging station, reducing the steps needed for users to find a charger.
By minimizing the number of interactions required to locate a charger, the app offers a more intuitive and efficient user experience. Quick access to preferred charging locations saves time, especially in urgent situations.
Charging Summary in "Session Details"
As we did for App’s session history, we have added a Charging Summary to each session detail, specifically for completed sessions (excluding ongoing sessions).
Charging Session Summary Details includes:
• Total Time: The duration of the charging session, indicating how long the vehicle was connected to the charger.
• Total Cost: The complete expense incurred during the session, providing a clear view of charging costs.
• Total Energy (kWh): The amount of energy delivered to the vehicle, measured in kilowatt-hours.
• CO₂ Savings: An estimate of the carbon dioxide emissions avoided by using electric charging instead of traditional fuels.
