**App Description:** Charge-R is a practical and easy-to-use electric vehicle range estimation tool designed to help drivers better understand how far their vehicle can realistically travel under different conditions. The app calculates an estimated driving range by taking into account key factors that directly affect energy consumption, including vehicle model and battery capacity, driving speed, driving mode, battery charge level, battery health, outside temperature, and climate control usage. These variables are combined to provide a clear and realistic range estimate tailored to your driving scenario. Users can create a vehicle profile by selecting their car model and entering basic information such as vehicle year and mileage. Based on this data, Charge-R estimates battery health and applies it to range calculations for more accurate results. For flexibility, manual vehicle selection is also available without saving a profile. Charge-R is designed for both daily driving and long-distance trip planning. It offers clear explanations through an integrated Questions section, helping users understand how driving habits, battery care, and environmental conditions impact electric vehicle range. The app works fully offline and does not require account creation. All data entered by the user is stored locally on the device and is never collected, transmitted, or shared. Charge-R is an independent, non-manufacturer application created for informational purposes only. All calculations are estimates and actual driving range may vary based on real-world conditions. Simple, fast, and focused — Charge-R helps electric vehicle drivers make informed decisions before hitting the road.
