That Inspires Travel
Automatic Routing
EVCoDriver will automatically navigate the fastest route from starting point to destination via available charging stations with the shortest expected wait times based on current battery level, car charging requirements and route options settings (e.g. avoiding highways).
As EVCoDriver tracks the status and locations of all the major DC fast charging stations so you no longer have to make complex charging plans before starting your trip.
EVCoDriver displays drive time, expected wait time, charging time at stations, estimated battery power level at arrival as well as distance.
Navigation, SOC estimation & dynamic re-routing
Based on EV’s speed, acceleration and elevation data, EVCoDriver will calculate estimated remaining battery power level and electric range in order to automatically reroute to the best charging stations based on changes in your driving direction, EV’s SOC, and status at charging stations, among other factors.
Charging guide
EVCoDriver will display the charging guide to advise on the minimum required charging level for your trip to and from your destination.
We recommend that you charge your EV up to the target SOC or higher.
You will be able to leave the station below the target SOC and EVCoDriver will assist your drive by navigating your route based on SOC data.
Station status information
EVCoDriver will display information about the charging station including the charger status so you can route your EV to the most convenient location.
About EVCoDriver
The EVCoDriver is a free navigation app specialized for electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce range anxiety for trips on the road. Range anxiety is the fear of being stranded due to insufficient energy or the sense of unease when encountering long wait queues or charger malfunctions at charging stations. The EVCoDriver allows you to easily start your road trips by entering your current battery level (State of Charge or SOC) and your destination, without the hassle of checking location and availability of various charging stations. EVCoDriver will automatically navigate the fastest route from starting point to destination via available charging stations with the shortest wait times based on your current battery level and car charging requirements. You no longer need to make complex charging plans before starting your trip. You can drive with peace of mind knowing that during your drive you will arrive safely at your destination with power to spare.

EVCoDriver also displays your driving time, any estimated wait times at the charging station, charge times at the charging station, and the total distance from your start point to your destination point.
4. You may also tap the station icon to view estimated arrival SOC and suggested SOC to charge at each charging station. You may also tap the destination icon to view estimated arrival SOC when you reach your destination. (Please note, If there are multiple charging stops involved in your route, then the wait and charge times are displayed as the combined total estimated wait time and minimum required charging time, respectively.)
Step 3 Step 4
- Open the EVCoDriver app.
- After step III (see above), tap “START” to display the map, showing your car’s direction near the top of the map.
The EVCoDriver app may automatically recalculate your route, based on changes in your driving direction, EV’s SOC and updates to charging stations’ congestion data, etc.
