I wonder if that is something worth contacting one of the controller companies about?

All the new EVs (LEAF, VOLT, etc) have pretty cool systems for connecting to smart phones.

Wouldn't that be a benefit for motor controller companies too?

I DON'T know the details of how these things communicate, but most of them are designed to talk to a Windows PC. It might be really easy to communicate to a Windows Phone.

I know that you can make an Alltrax AXE talk to an old Palm Pilot....
