EV Navigation is a turn-by-turn navigation and route planner system, created for electric car users all around the world. EV Navigation does not only provide users with a reliable navigation system, including charging stations, but it is also capable of calculating the range the users can cover with their individually selected electric car. The range calculation takes a wide variety of parameters into consideration (driving habits, tire pressure, weight, wind, temperature, etc.), so that users have the opportunity to plan their trip precisely, anticipating the waiting time needed at charging stations. We support each type of charger (Supercharger, CCS, CHADEMO, Type 2, and all others). Charging times and the planned routes are synchronized and calculated in parallel, so that the users can spend the minimum time in waiting, while being granted a safe and the fastest possible route to their destination.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EV Companion at 4.2 against EV Navigation's 2.7. EV Companion also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (638 vs 16). EV Navigation's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 13%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EV Navigation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and EV Companion sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EV Companion holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV Companion has 638 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of EV Navigation's written reviews are positive against 13% of EV Companion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EV Navigation ships an update every 3 months, EV Companion fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
