Build an EV Battery Range Calculator with React and Redux

In this project, we’ll build an electric vehicle battery range calculator using React and Redux, progressing from UI development to complete state management. This project reinforces core Redux patterns in the context of a real-world, interactive app.

You will learn to:

Build and organize reusable UI components in React.

Use Redux to manage global application state in a React app.

Write action creators and reducers to update the application state.

Create container components to connect UI to the Redux store.

Use props to pass data and callbacks between components.

Structure a scalable and maintainable React and Redux project.

Project Description

In this project, we’ll build an interactive electric vehicle battery range calculator using React and Redux. The calculator is designed to simulate how different driving conditions affect electric vehicle performance. The app allows users to adjust parameters like speed, temperature, climate control, and wheel size, and instantly see how these factors influence the estimated driving range of an EV car.

This hands-on experience emphasizes clean component architecture, reusable UI logic, and predictable state management with Redux. We will structure a modern frontend application by connecting React components to a centralized store, dispatching actions, and rendering calculated results in real time. This project is ideal for developers looking to sharpen their React skills and confidently apply Redux in real-world scenarios.
