I think something that is missing is distance tracking with a vehicle speed sensor. Yes a gps can approximate it, but that is a fair bit of change and isn't always the most reliable. There should really be some onboard sensor so you have accurate and reliable kwh/mile readings. Most vehicles already have a vss, and a fixed gear unit can interpret from rpm.
