Show battery temperature next to SoC overlay (Android Auto / in-car view)

Hi ABRP team,

Could you please add battery temperature as an optional value in the top-right overlay, next to the current SoC and arrival SoC?

On Android Auto and in-car displays, ABRP already shows:

  • Current state of charge (SoC)

  • Estimated SoC at arrival

Adding battery temperature (batt_temp) beside or below these values would make the overlay much more informative — especially for EVs like the Nissan Leaf, where battery temperature strongly affects charging speed and efficiency.

Why it matters

  • The data is already available from telemetry (OBD, LeafSpy, or car API).

  • For cars without active cooling (like older Leafs), monitoring temperature in real time helps drivers manage charging and protect battery health.

  • Displaying it next to SoC would make it visible without opening menus or the data tab — ideal for driving view.

Possible implementation ideas

  • Optional third value beside SoC and arrival SoC (°C or °F).

  • Or a small color-coded thermometer icon (e.g., blue–green–red range).

  • Toggle in Settings → Car Data → “Show battery temperature overlay.”

Thanks for considering this improvement — it would be a small change with a big usability impact for many EV owners!
