– Know if the vehicle can reach a specific charge station from its current location with the current charge level
– Create a journey with multiple stops, and determine the likelihood the car has adequate charge for the full journey
– Find the car by creating a route from a mobile phone to the vehicle

• Receive alerts if the vehicle isn’t charging when it’s scheduled to, or if charging stops unexpectedly due to a power outage, plug removal or other event

• Receive alerts during recharge when the vehicle has reached a particular preset charge level or has the ability to reach a particular destination
