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 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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
