## What is ChargeBuddy?

ChargeBuddy is India's EV charging companion. It puts India's public EV chargers on one map, shows only the ones that fit your vehicle, and tells you which ones are working, based on check-ins from riders who were just there.

ONLY CHARGERS THAT FIT YOUR EV
• Tell us once if you ride a scooter, auto or car, and pick your brand and model
• The map and lists show only chargers your vehicle can use
• Search for a network or charger and ChargeBuddy tells you if it isn't compatible with your vehicle

FIND CHARGERS NEAR YOU
• 27,000+ public chargers across all 28 states and 8 union territories
• The map opens on chargers near you; zoom out to see all of India
• Search any city, area, landmark or address, like "Science City" or "Indiranagar"
• Sort by nearest, most reliable or fastest, and save your favourites

SEE IF IT WORKS BEFORE YOU GO
• Green pin: no problems reported by riders
• Orange pin: a rider reported it down or under maintenance
• Some networks share live status and prices directly; those chargers say "Live from the charging network"
• Connectors, charging speed and prices on every charger page
• One-tap directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps

ON YOUR CAR SCREEN
• Works with Apple CarPlay: nearby chargers that fit your car, their live status and one-tap navigation

REPORT IN ONE TAP, EARN XP
• After you charge, tell everyone how it went: charged, charging now, couldn't charge, or waiting
• Optional arrival reminders ask "Did it charge?" when you reach a charger
• Earn XP for every report, be the first to report a charger, add a charger's first photo, and invite friends
• Climb the levels from New Rider to Legend

BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN
• iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo: unfolded, the charger list and the map sit side by side

START AS A GUEST
• Use the map, search, charger pages and reports without signing up
• Sign in with Apple or Google to collect XP and keep your reports and saved chargers on any device

INDEPENDENT AND RIDER-POWERED
ChargeBuddy is independent. Reliability comes from rider check-ins, and no company can pay to change it. Charger locations come from public sources, including the Ministry of Power / Bureau of Energy Efficiency list, OpenStreetMap and Open Charge Map, plus charging networks that share their data with us. XP has no cash value.

Never use the app while driving.
