### 4/5 — Has been a lifesaver during EV transition! But some learning curves

*2026-05-01, version 22.1.5*

I am so incredibly thankful that during this period of searching and buying a new EV, I can use the Evie service whenever I need to fill the gap! There was a learning curve at first between membership options and hub based versus free float, but as long as you view the ride cost calculator it helps you predict the most cost efficient choice for you. I would recommend making this feature more prominent and easier to access within the app, as you have to click a few buttons until you reach it. Where my home base is just a block outside of the accepted EV area, so I hope they continue to expand their working areas! Further in South Minneapolis and across Northeast. Calling the help line is easy and usually effective but there have been times I couldn’t get help right away or answers in navigating unfamiliar car models. Thankfully there are only a handful to get familiar with! It’s also been fun driving the different models and getting more comfortable with the variety of options that are out there. Overall a positive experience!

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2026-04-26, version 22.1.5*

This is a shady “non-profit” that is defrauding the Minnesota government. Beware

### 4/5 — Great service, poor app

*2026-04-13, version 22.1.5*

I enjoy the features of the app and this service has been extremely useful for me as someone who doesn’t own a car. The app is just very very slow and glitchy. But all the features of the app are great

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-02-07, version 22.0*

This app is a lifesaver!

### 5/5 — MN rocks

*2026-01-21, version 22.0*

Great options for low income car rides

### 3/5 — Connectivity

*2025-12-29, version 22.0*

Hard to connect with the car if you don’t have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

### 3/5 — Less cars available

*2025-12-13, version 3.9*

Less cars available around the area and lack of vehicles maintenance and cleaning

### 5/5 — 🩷

*2025-12-03, version 3.9*

Cannot give enough thanks for this service-it is helping us through a difficult time.

### 5/5 — Super convenient

*2025-10-11, version 3.9*

Convenient and cost-effective mode of transportation. Good customer service, cars are well maintained and clean.

### 1/5 — overpriced

*2025-08-19, version 3.9*

Not understanding $1 for access low income plan but its literally $10 to use the car for 30 minutes. And its more expensive for $7 everyday plan even though you pay more for the subscription.
