Electric cars status can be checked by phone, PC

March 7, 2011

Telenor Connexion has enabled owners of the 100 percent electric Nissan LEAF™ automobile to use a mobile phone or PC to check battery status and range turn on the vehicle’s air conditioning, and access usage history.

As the European connectivity supplier for the LEAF’s Carwings intelligent transport (IT) system, the company has developed a dedicated telematics system that connects the electric car’s onboard transmitting unit and the Carwings data center in a private network environment.
