    With the first electric cars now in BeamNG, it would be really nice if there was an official UI app for the ups and down of the battery. I realize that we have an nice animation in the dashboard but it is both quite small and cannot be viewed outside the car.

    We already have a mod that does basically precisly what I want.... sadly it isnt compatible with the new electric drivetrains.

    Having thought about that.... it occured to me that maybe we should just integrate all that stuff into the main UI app on the right side of the screen:
























    I really like the idea of integrating this power management into the already existing UI app. You would only need to change the fuel icon and make load/regenerative braking only work if power source = battery.


    Thank you for consideration.

    This actually looks awesome, hope the devs have a look. I feel like the current implementation with the speedometer and electric cars is clunky...

    Very cool suggestion. I would like to see something like that to be implemented too.
