EV Abuse
Hybrid Assistant reports “abuse” of EV mode.
How do we define “abuse”?
You’re abusing EV when applying traction by the electric motor and you have SOC<60%
Since SOC will be replenished by petrol at the next engine ignition, this will not lead to efficient driving.
You can freely use EV when your SOC is >60% and you have energy to spare.

Braking Bad
The brake icon has 5 history bars, with a summary of the last 5 brakings.
The bar color tells the effectiveness of the braking.
The history bars allow the driver to check brakings actually after the brake event, without compromising on security while driving.

2 different progess bars show percentage of EV time and EV distance over the whole trip.
Additionally, the EV icon will turn red if you're abusing EV usage.

Green - Regenerative braking

Back in Black
New version has been published for testers.
Experimenting with a black theme: now coolant temperature has a color code: we've just finished S1, we're at 43 and green to go.

Visual Language
Hybrid Assistant has been designed to avoid information overflow to the driver.
We try to avoid pages of numbers, using other visual cues to convey information.
For example, for the SOC level, colors are used to show the trend: green if charging, red if discharging.
Color saturation is proportional to the battery current value.
This way, the driver can have a quick summary of the status with just a glimpse
