MapBox v2 SDK Now With EV Routing

[zefram47]

While Rivian did update their built-in place search to use Google, I wonder if the larger navigation update Rivian alluded to is actually going to be the MapBox v2 SDK. Looks like they've added EV routing to the mix that allows developers to include detailed vehicle info including efficiency curves for speed and other parameters.

Will it take control of the vehicle and prevent @Dark-Fx from arriving at his house with 1% charge remaining? ?

Oh, you just reminded me. My truck did tell me at one point I wasn't going to make it home and it automatically re-routed me to an ev-charger, which I promptly removed from the plan and continued on.

You are just trying as hard as you can to get on YouTube, aren’t you?

I'd watch that on youtube. I found sadistic pleasure in watching Kyle push an EV to a charger that one time.

Incidentally, this screenshot in another blog post (https://www.mapbox.com/blog/mapbox-3d-navigation) really makes me hope they update the dashboard video game screen:

And the original they compared it to looks very similar to the Rivian view

Just remove the buttons around the edges and merge the map normally shown on the left of the dash with the silly driving Rivian imagery and tada. Seems much more useful at a glance, and probably frees up space for something else on the left side of the dash.

Mine did the same, but I still made it home with 45 miles remaining.

My truck routinely tries to send me to a charger at the tail end of a road trip. I have rolled into the garage at 1% a few times now. A bit nerve wracking on the way in the first time, but I have become much more confident in my ability to gauge the truck's range. Limited range relative to my old F150 for sure, but range anxiety is non-existent.

Well, with all the news this week, I think we can officially put to bed any speculation on whether Rivian will use MapBox's EV routing algorithms. They're rolling their own! (or at least their subsidiary's own)
