This app is for both EV owners and future owners, built with the purpose of reducing range anxiety. It is designed for simplicity so that any non-technical EV owner will learn the limits of their EV and best practices to achieve the best range and charging experience. It is also designed to provide trip planning without needing to use multiple apps. It saves charging sessions, range and efficiency to help you on future trips. Quick and easy to use while you are sitting in your car at the charging station. This app is designed and built by an EV owner and enthusiast who wanted one app to do it all. Features Include: - Range calculation you adjust for your driving habits, conditions and speed - Charging sessions details - logged and saved and available for viewing - Calculates battery size automatically by using charging session details - Map for locating charging stations with details and directions including distance and change in elevation. - Distance to destination calculates the percentage used to reach your destination. - Elevation change (up or down) is calculated for planning your battery consumption. - Details are provided of charging stations you select. EVrc will calculate the usable battery size of your EV for accurate range estimates. In a charging session you only need to add this information using slider controls: 1. Starting Charge Percent 2. Ending Charge Percent 3. Price per kWh 4. Time charging (timer included in app) * EVrc will calculate the other variables needed. Take control of your electric vehicle (EV) journey with EVrc Range Calculator, the ultimate tool to eliminate range anxiety and optimize your driving experience. While on the go, this app allows you to quickly calculate the remaining range based on the efficiency of your EV. You will quickly know what efficiency is required to reach your destination.
