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.

EVs are hilarious ๐Ÿ˜†

When I was a stupid teen, I ran out of gas a few times. I live in a big place.

People used to have jerry cans in their vehicles before they got more efficient and gas stations saturated civic environments. It was awkward finding gas stations that were open when you needed them, especially out of town.

Sooo, I am missing the joke. Care to share?

There is no jerry can alternative for EVs, you know. People will always run out of battery and the only solution is towing which is quite hilarious to this simple problem. I once ran out of fuel when I was a teen too and some good Samaritan stopped by and gave me some gas. Not going to happen with an EV

We already have it, it's called V2L :)

The local CAA trucks here have a jerry can charger for EVโ€™s, check with your local Auto Association.
