A new dress

 Hybrid Assistant has a new icon, a minimal design inspired by the old one.

But not only that: Hybrid Reporter is now integrated into the main app and is accessible from the settings menu.

You can open it only when the car is stopped, for obvious safety reasons.

8 years of battery usage

My Yaris is approaching its 8th birthday and has just passed the 80.000 km mark.

In the last 4 years she has lost her internal garage parking place to her bigger sister Auris, so she also has passed 4 winters and 4 summers under the stars, with no particular care so it's time for an HV check.

Here is a full discharge/recharge cycle chart from Hybrid Reporter:
All blocks discharge uniformly, none of them behave significantly different from the others.


We have further confirm from the Delta chart, where we see that voltage difference is always well under 0.2V, and just above 0.1 at the lower SOC levels.
According to this article, battery is still at near full capacity.


These charts suggest little Yaris has many more years of travel in front of her wheels.

Hybrid Assistant has always been a free product.
From time to time, we received inquiries from people who were asking if they can contribute to its development somehow.
We always refused to charge any money for it.
Now this has changed: if you, as a satisfied Hybrid Assistant user, think this app has contributed somewhat to improve your driving and reduce your emissions, think about making a donation, the amount you think it's worth, to an hospital of your own choosing.
Thank you.
The Hybrid Assistant Development Team
