The EVCoDriver is a navigation app specialized for electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce range anxiety and charging anxiety for your road trips. Range & charging anxiety is the fear that you may be stranded due to insufficient energy and also the uneasiness that you may encounter long waiting queues and charger malfunction at charging stations. The EVCoDriver allows you to easily start your road trips just by inputting your current battery level (state of charge) and your destinations without checking locations and availability of charging stations. It will auto-route/reroute the shortest time path with lower energy consumption from start point to destinations via available charging stations where short wait times are expected, based on your current battery level and car charging requirements. You no longer have to make a charging plan before starting your trip or worry about how you intend to reach destinations during the drive beyond your car's single charge limits and can arrive with peace of mind and power left over. Features: - Sign-in by Apple ID, Google ID or email address - Easily register your EV - Select/deselect your charging service networks - Set battery level update at start point - Input destinations and waypoints to find the shortest time path with lower energy consumption. It displays driving, waiting and charging times as well as distance - Tap destinations and charging stations icons to check estimated arrival SOC values at the destinations and charging stations, and also minimum suggested target SOC to charge at the charging stations - During navigation, EVCoDriver calculates energy consumption based on smartphone sensor data and automatically finds the new shortest time path to destinations via charging station(s) in case that you go on a different path or charging station's status changes - Automatically collect State of Charge(SOC) data of selected EV models - Map display color scheme settings of Auto, Day or Night - Music control feature for Apple Music app

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EVCoDriver holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chargeway has 2.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Chargeway's written reviews are positive against 0% of EVCoDriver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chargeway ships an update every 3 weeks, EVCoDriver every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
