Inaccurate information with no way to correct

So I have a Chevy Bolt. It’s official range is 238 miles. The app pegs it at 168. Now, obviously with freeway driving, I will probably get less that 238, but not THAT much less. So that’s problem #1. Inputting a long drive I’ve taken before it has me stopping an extra stop than needed and charging twice as long as you actually need.

Another issue is that if you have the default mail app set to a 3rd party app on your phone and uninstall Apple’s Mail app, there’s no way to send feedback.

I guess I get what the app is trying to do, but there are better options.

Thanks a lot for your review. EV Co-Driver ver. 3 adopts more realistic electric range settings for 2017/2018/2019/2020/2021 Chevrolet Bolt. EV Co-Driver ver. 2 uses very conservative settings based on our highway drive tests of Chevrolet Bolt. Using EV Co-Driver ver. 3 with Chevrolet Bolt, you may trip by appropriate number of charges. We are working on further improvements of EV Co-Driver's routing logic for our next updates. About the mail support feature, EV Co-Driver needs Apple Mail app installed. (As pointed out, you may send feedback by the other mail app if Apple Mail app is installed.) In case that Apple Mail app is not installed, please send feedback to support@evcodriver.com by mail app or on our web site.

Extremely basic and not quite functional

There isn’t much to this app. I tried it and quickly deleted for the following reasons:
doesn’t take into account battery degradation, I set it to 90% but I can’t tell the app that my 90% is not a brand new 90%, not ever is but I can’t change that so all calculations will be off for the route.
Zoom out to far and you can’t look for chargers in a large area.
Took too long to map route, gave up and deleted. Was promising idea, poor execution. This is not a version 2+ app, still 0.X.

Thank you very much for your comments. We are periodically reviewing our EV specs master data for EV Co-Driver. The latest master data is in consideration of battery deterioration for some old models. Pinch in/out and tap the upper right "electric" icon and you can see charging stations on the zoomed in/out map area. We hope you will try EV Co-Driver ver. 3.x.x.
