Scientists from the University of California, Riverside, have developed a new diagnostic metric for electric vehicles (EVs) that determines whether they can complete an upcoming trip.

Called the State of Mission (SOM), it utilizes both battery data and environmental factors, such as traffic patterns, elevation changes, or ambient temperature, to generate real-time, task-specific predictions. Furthermore, the team has developed mathematical and computational frameworks to calculate the SOM.

They have to, because Americans can't do simple math in their heads.

My car tells me how much range I have, and I compare it to my route distance. Not sure what “simple math” you’re talking about beyond that. I’m not paying attention to the percentage of my battery and running an average percentage lost per distance or something.

Not sure why this is an “Americans” issue in your mind.
