Create a fuel efficiency calculator for trips (ICE / hybrid / EV)
This project involves the creation of a functional trip fuel efficiency calculator designed to handle internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid, and electric vehicles (EV). Upon completion, you will have a working command-line application or a basic web interface that accepts user input for vehicle type, trip distance, and relevant efficiency metrics (e.g., MPG, L/100km, kWh/100mi), then outputs the estimated fuel/energy cost and consumption for the given trip. This demonstrates a foundational understanding of data input, logical processing, unit conversion, and clear output presentation within a practical context. The calculator will provide tangible results, such as the total liters of fuel consumed or total kilowatt-hours used, making the abstract concept of efficiency concrete and measurable.
This project is ideal for individuals who are analytical, detail-oriented, enjoy solving practical problems with code, and are motivated by seeing immediate, clear results from their development efforts.
