Method and apparatus are disclosed for user interfaces for vehicle remote park-assist. An example remote park-assist system includes a mobile app. The mobile app includes an interface for a touchscreen of a mobile device. The interface includes a pushbutton for receiving a continuous stationary input and an input pad for receiving a dynamic input sequence. The example remote park-assist system also includes a communication module for communication with the mobile device and an autonomy unit to perform motive functions while the interface simultaneously receives the continuous stationary input and the dynamic input sequence.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to electricity usage. A device may determine the electric or a hybrid-electric motor vehicle is charged at one or more charging locations. The device may determine a cost associated with electricity applicable at the time of the charging at the one or more charging locations. The device may determine a billing period associated with the electricity cost, wherein the billing period is at least one month. The device may cause the prediction of electricity costs expected to arise by an end of a current billing period as a result of charging the vehicle at the one or more charging locations. The device may display, on a user display device, information associated with the prediction of electricity costs.
