Examples of use
Field workers and commuters in particular spend many hours in their cars on weekdays. In the interest of safety, both hands should always remain on the steering wheel and the driver should keep his eyes on the road. Unlike on a smartphone, the driver does not have to press the power button on the voice assistant, nor does he have to open individual apps or search for functions in them. All they have to do is say the activation word, ask for the next rest stop, or inquire whether the front door is locked, and they receive a spoken response in a matter of seconds.
Also according to voicebot.ai, a good half of U.S. adults have used a voice assistant in their car, and a third do so regularly. Most frequent uses:
- Phone
- Navigation
- Send short message
- Play music from server
- Search radio stations
- Ask general knowledge
- Listen to weather forecast

Voice-enabled mobility calculator
Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular, and their purchase will be subsidized by taxes for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, many potential buyers still find it difficult to choose between an electric motor and a combustion engine. To help you decide, we offer a mobility calculator on our website. You can use it to calculate the conditions under which an e-drive model is worthwhile for you. To this end, the calculator compares the purchase prices, operating costs and life cycle assessments of gasoline, diesel and e-models in the most popular vehicle classes. This shows that reality has now overtaken the cliché of the “too expensive” electric car.
Operation of the calculator
The e-mobility calculato was initially available as a browser app for free use on our website. We also offer our clients the option of using the tool in their corporate design on their own pages. To encourage interested parties to use the calculator, we have radically simplified its operation. There is no need to type in numbers and other details. Instead, the user selects just three key data at the click of a mouse on the calculator’s home page: Vehicle class, annual mileage, charging preference. On the results page, the user adjusts the values calculated in the first step. In this way, they approach their individual needs step by step and are motivated to take a closer look at the matter.
New: Voice control
As an alternative to using the mouse, we have now made the mobility computer voice-enabled. We have implemented this technically in the form of a skill for the Amazon voice assistant Alexa. You can activate the function free of charge on your smartphone or smart speaker via the Alexa skill store. When the device is switched on, you will receive the first results page of the calculator in a short time without having to press a single button.
Try out the voice control of our mobility calculator! You can find the function under “Consileon-E mobility calculator” in the Alexa Skillstore.
