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.

Ranger shows your battery on arrival and after charging, and how long the stop takes. • Tune it to your car Set your starting charge and consumption with simple sliders and watch the route update instantly. • Arrive with a buffer Plan to arrive with charge to spare, not a warning light. ON THE ROAD WITH RANGER PRO • Find the next charger See the chargers ahead on your route, with the distance, your arrival time and the battery you'll have when you get there. Pick one and make it your next stop. • Filter by network On a charging plan with Electrify America or another network? Show only their chargers, so every stop is at the rates you pay. • In CarPlay The list follows you onto the car's screen and updates as you drive. One glance tells you whether the next charger is still within reach — or whether it's time to stop sooner. • Plan while you charge Waiting at a charger? Adjust the rest of the trip, line up your next stops, and see how much charge you need to get there. YOUR TRIP, YOUR CALL Ranger doesn't pick stops for you. It shows you the whole picture — range, chargers and arrival charge — so you decide where to stop, based on how you drive and where you're going.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ranger at none against EV Navigation's 4. Ranger also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and rating (3.0 vs 2.6). EV Navigation's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. EV Navigation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Ranger asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ranger holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV Navigation has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of EV Navigation's written reviews are positive against 0% of Ranger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EV Navigation ships an update every 3 months, Ranger every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
