HOUSTON EV
Read full descriptionHide full description
HOUSTON EV helps electric vehicle drivers plan trips with practical charging stops and clear range checks. The app interface is available in English and Spanish (Spain). Set up your vehicle, choose a start point and destination, enter battery level and consumption, then compare Apple Maps route options with charging legs calculated by HOUSTON EV. The app estimates safe range, expected arrival battery, charging stop details, and whether a leg is reachable, risky, or unreachable. During a trip, return to HOUSTON EV to update battery or consumption. The app recalculates the current leg and can suggest a charging stop when conditions change. Features: - Vehicle profile and battery capacity setup - Favorite destinations and trusted chargers - Reusable saved trip plans - Apple Maps route comparison - Public charger lookup - Charging leg planning with arrival battery estimates - 80% charge target at charging stops - Minimum charger power filters - During-trip battery and consumption updates - Navigation handoff to supported map apps - Safety notes for charger verification and navigation review HOUSTON EV owns the EV planning logic. Navigation apps remain external guidance tools: send the next charger first, then the final destination when you are ready. HOUSTON EV does not provide live vehicle battery integration, live charger availability, payment, or automatic route extraction from external navigation apps.
