Personal Cold-Weather EV Range Predictor for Used-Car Shoppers
One-Liner
A smartphone app providing realistic winter range estimates for 50–150 used EV models in cold climates (Canada, Norway), using CATL cold-data and OEM charge curves.
AI Thinking Process
Smartphone app: enter home city + commute, get realistic winter range for 50–150 used EVs at -25°C.
