Settings¶
The settings page (/settings) controls charging networks, comparison parameters, and display preferences. All settings take effect immediately.
Charging Networks¶
Manage your cost per kWh for each charging network. Each network has:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Network name (e.g., "Home", "Electrify America") |
| Cost | Cost per kWh in dollars |
| Free | Whether this network charges nothing |
Network costs are used to calculate session costs throughout the application. Editing a network cost immediately updates all cost displays.
Tip
The seed script populates default costs for common networks. Edit these to match your actual costs.
Gas Comparison Settings¶
Parameters for the gas vehicle savings comparison on the costs page:
| Setting | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Gas price ($/gallon) | Current gas price in your area | 3.50 |
| Vehicle MPG | The gas vehicle you're comparing against | 25 |
These values are used to calculate what you would have spent driving an equivalent gas vehicle over the same miles.
Unit Preferences¶
Choose between US and EU display units:
| Preference | Efficiency unit | Used on |
|---|---|---|
| US | mi/kWh | Energy dashboard |
| EU | km/kWh | Energy dashboard |
Comparison Toggles¶
Control which comparison sections appear on the costs page:
- Comparison section -- Master toggle for the entire savings section
- Gas comparison -- Show/hide the gas vehicle comparison
- Network comparison -- Show/hide the network cost comparison
Disabling a comparison also skips the database queries for that section, so there's no performance cost for hidden comparisons.
