Reverse order of Charger Types listed in picker #355

Closed EVGrokker closed 7 years ago

EVGrokker commented 7 years ago

When filtering a prospective waypoint or destination by Charger Type, the available charger levels are shown in ascending order, from Level 1 up to Level 3, then Tesla Superchargers.

Since we're optimizing for typical users, whom we expect would mostly be filtering for Superchargers when using this feature, the proposal is to reverse the order of the choices in the picker so that the highest power/most preferable chargers would be displayed first.

Would No Charger still be the first on the list?

I made this change in V1.2 (10) but left the No Charger as the first choice and then flipped the others. This needs to be thoroughly tested. I did a quick check by adding a waypoint as a supercharger and it seemed fine.

Yes, the default selection would still be No Charger as the first choice.

This needs to be thoroughly tested. I did a quick check by adding a waypoint as a supercharger and it seemed fine.

The only way that this could be a problem with previously saved trips would be if a charging waypoint stored an index into the picker, rather than the returned charger type. The other possible problem could be with Favorited waypoints having associated charger type. Assuming you're storing the type, not a list index, you should be OK.

It always stores the value so it should not be a problem. But then there is my programming. :-)

Even if a user reported a problem, we'd just tell them to reset the charger type. Not fatal, not a big deal.
