The Carregar app helps you locate Mobi.e charging stations, simulate charging costs, and view network statistics. The app has the following features: - View stations on a map - Aggregate stations at the same location with a horizontal radius - Aggregate stations with a blue icon when zooming out - Clicking on a blue icon zooms in on the map to one of the stations in that group - Filter stations by Power - Filter by amenities - adhoc filter - Go to the user's location - Change the map view - Refresh the station data - View on the map the price of the simulation of the cheapest CEME according to the filters - Switch between the total price and the price per kWh - View the information provided by Mobi.e for each station and its sockets - Simulate the price for a socket - View the price of the OPC and CEME components of the simulations - View the price of all components of the simulations in detail - View a list of CEMEs and their prices with TAR (excluding VAT) - View network statistics - Show the date of the last update of the station status - Save the last cycle used - Save the kWh and minutes from the previous AC and DC simulation - Calculate the energy and time needed based on the chosen charging percentage of the vehicle - View the charging curve for the chosen socket - Search stations - Navigate to the station by clicking on the address or share the location to any app, like the Tesla app - CarPlay Simulation features: - Supports Ad-hoc - Uses the crowdsourced CEME price - If the CEME price does not include TAR, it includes TAR according to the voltage level of the station, LV or MV, from the chosen tariff and the station's region - Adds the EGME to CEMEs without EGME included in the price - Adds the environmental fund support - Adds the IEC to CEMEs without IEC included in the price - Adds the activation fee for CEMEs with this fee - Calculates the OPC price based on three conditions: Activation, price per kWh, and price per Minute - Also calculates the OPC restrictions. E.g., minute 0 to 30 is cheaper than minute 31 to 60. The charging curve is not used here - Assumes that the OPC integrates the EGME fee somewhere in its prices and does not add it, typically the OPC adds it in the activation fee - Calculates the hourly cycle according to the available tariff: Tri-hourly, bi-hourly, or simple - Calculates the Daily or Weekly cycle, depending on the CEME - Calculates the hourly cycle according to the station's region - To reduce the app size, the price of LuziGás losses is calculated based on the annual loss average of 16.912% - Adds VAT according to the station's region - Uses the station's schedule to calculate the hourly cycles - Saves the settings from the last simulation, separating the kWh and minutes into AC and DC - The AC charging curves use a constant power, which is not correct for the final percentages - The DC charging curves do not take into account the low battery voltage at the start - Shows the normalized price Map simulation features: - Calculates a simulation for each socket and each CEME and chooses the lowest price - Filtered sockets do not enter into the calculation of the lowest price. - Uses the hourly cycle, kWh, and minutes from the last AC or DC simulation - The simulation will use the kWh and minute values of the AC or DC sockets saved. E.g., If you simulate on an AC socket, 11kWh and 1h, on the map all AC simulations will use these values to show the lowest price Search features: - The search is done by the name of the station, e.g., OER-00057 - When the results of this search are 0, the search will search by addresses - This way, stations from one area are not mixed with addresses that include the initials of the station - Selecting a station and then exiting the search, the map will focus on that station - Shows the total number of stations for each search Not supported: - CEME per-minute prices. At this moment, an estimate in kWh is used for these CEMEs.
