Update SoC Automatically After Charging Stop for vehicles not using live data

On vehicles that don’t have a live SoC value, it would be nice to automate the process of updating the SoC after a charging stop. Could you:

  • Detect a stop at a charger & display a tile with the target SoC and estimated charging time along with a Done Charging button.

  • When the user taps the Done Charging button pop up a dialogue box to set the actual SoC — using the target SoC as the default.

  • If the car starts moving without interaction with the pop up, remove the pop up and update the SoC to the target value (and perhaps display it with a color or other markup to indicate that it is an estimated value).

Or at a charging stop just open a dialogue to set the new SoC along with a Done Charging button. Even that would make it much easier for users without a live data source to work with / learn the app.
