So you do need proper route planning, charging point information and range prediction anyway. What would be the benefit of completely outsourcing this to a smartphone? Is having one additional device really going to make things easier and less brittle? Why shouldn't this be done by the car if it can be done by the car?

You don't need a screen or app in your car. You need the app on the smartphone. That's your remote starter.

Additionally I already essentially use my smartphone to find gas stations in unfamiliar areas. Why does the source of power necessitate IOT? > You need the app on the smartphone. That's your remote starter. I worked for a company that made an ebike that you used your phone to start. I hated it. If your phone is dead, so is your bike. I shouldn't need a phone to start my car.
