For those (most) of you without car hardware yet, we see you are using the DEMO car to try out the Apps. Thanks for your assistance with this, and please let us know if you have any problems, or can suggest any improvements.

In the meantime, we've put a little 'spice' into the demo car.

Hong Kong consists of 1,104 sq km (426 sq mi) of land, and is home to about 7 million people. Driving all around Hong Kong, you'll cover only 200km (we know, we did it). Electric Vehicles are just now starting to appear on Hong Kong roads, and there are approximately 100 public charging stations (with 300+ sockets) dotted around the territory.

The demo car is now having fun virtually driving around Hong Kong. As it randomly chooses another destination every 30 seconds, we calculate how far it has travelled, and reduce the battery SOC accordingly. When it reaches 25% SOC, it plugs in and waits for its battery SOC to reach at least 95%, before continuing its journey around Hong Kong.

Just a little fun, while we wait for the factory...
