About this app

The EVCoDriver is a navigation app specialized for electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce range anxiety and charging anxiety for your road trips. Range & charging anxiety is the fear that you may be stranded due to insufficient energy and also the uneasiness that you may encounter long waiting queues and charger malfunction at charging stations. The EVCoDriver allows you to easily start your road trips just by inputting your current battery level (state of charge) and your destinations without checking locations and availability of charging stations. It will auto-route/reroute the shortest time path with lower energy consumption from start point to destinations via available charging stations where short wait times are expected, based on your current battery level and car charging requirements. You no longer have to make a charging plan before starting your trip or worry about how you intend to reach destinations during the drive beyond your car's single charge limits and can arrive with peace of mind and power left over.

Features:
- Sign-in by Apple ID, Google ID or email address
- Easily register your EV
- Select/deselect your charging service networks
- Set battery level update at start point
- Input destinations and waypoints to find the shortest time path with lower energy consumption. It displays driving, waiting and charging times as well as distance
- Tap destinations and charging stations icons to check estimated arrival SOC values at the destinations and charging stations, and also minimum suggested target SOC to charge at the charging stations
- During navigation, EVCoDriver calculates energy consumption based on smartphone sensor data and automatically finds the new shortest time path to destinations via charging station(s) in case that you go on a different path or charging station's status changes
- Automatically collect State of Charge(SOC) data of selected EV models
- Map display color scheme settings of Auto, Day or Night

Ratings and reviews

Annoying. Your app crashes everytime I try to create account. Reset my phone numerous times, uninstalled/reinstalled app numerous times. Even tried on my tablet to make sure but to no avail. Keeps saying "Registration error. Internal server error. Please try again." Fix and I'll change my rating.

This pretends to be a general EV route planner but is in fact a planner that only includes EVgo stations in my area, which are the most expensive stations. Also it doesn't have many brands of EV like Energica and Zero, so I had to choose closest match, VW e-Golf, to test it. Not useful to me, so uninstalling. Plugshare and ABRP are much better if you want a route planner that includes all brands of EV station and can filter out the stupidly expensive ones.

Great idea but limited use. Nothing found near me although I know of several charging stations close by. It also indicated my car's range, which is wrong, but I couldn't change it. I'll check for an updated version in the future.

What’s new

Improved acceleration and speed detection for calculating energy consumption while driving.

Added speedometer to navigation screen.
