## What is EVDataBot?

EVDataBot shows Lightning owners what their truck is actually doing — accurate battery telemetry, trip efficiency, and live gauges for CarPlay. No accounts. No cloud sync. No analytics SDKs. Your data stays on your device.

EVDataBot connects to your OBD-II adapter (OBDLink CX, OBDLink MX+, or vLinker FS) and reads live data from your Ford F-150 Lightning's battery management system. You see:

• Real-time battery state of charge, voltage, current, and pack temperature
• Live efficiency (mi/kWh) and projected range
• Trip history with route maps and per-trip efficiency
• Live Activities + Lock Screen widgets for trips and charging
• CarPlay tab with live Drive Coach (efficiency, range, power) at a glance

Premium ($9.99 one-time, or a 7-day free trial) unlocks:
• CarPlay Charging tab — session cost, peak power, curve
• CarPlay Trip tab — full trip detail at a glance
• CarPlay Vehicle tab — climate, tire pressures, advanced HVB data
• Advanced insights and the EV Health Report deep sections

Why local-only? Your trip data and OBD readings stay on your device. We have no servers. We have no analytics SDKs. We don't know who you are or what you drive — and that's by design.

REQUIREMENTS:
• Ford F-150 Lightning (any model year, ER recommended)
• A supported OBD-II adapter:
  - OBDLink CX (Bluetooth Low Energy)
  - OBDLink MX+ (Bluetooth)
  - vLinker FS (Bluetooth Low Energy)
• iOS 26.2 or later

Built by a Lightning owner who got tired of waiting for the data the truck already has.
