This is simply growing pains. Nobody who needs gas plans out their stops on a road trip. They simply notice they're low, and pull of at the next station. As much as I'd like to have two way communication with my car and android auto, it's probably unrealistic to expect the auto industry (in tandem with Google) to actually move fast enough to implement something like that before it's no longer useful.
> 0. In case anyone is curious why outside temperature is relevant, EVs take outside temperature into their calculation of estimated range, because lower temperatures reduce range available.
That's actually not important at all. Simply noting the current rate of discharge/speed is enough. I use ABRP with a bluetooth ADB dongle to get live data to my maps for long road trips and it works wonderfully. It doesn't have to be perfect since hardly any EV driver is going to want to be under 20% battery when they arrive at a charger.
> Unless Google and Apple somehow get access to that live data from the vehicle itself in real time
Apple is working on it. Google will likely follow suite. Neither are likely to be implemented in a vehicle I own before it's irrelevant though.
