Maxwell is an app that provides you with features for your electric car that you won't find anywhere else: If your vehicle doesn't allow you to stop charging when it reaches a certain battery level and you're worried about its health, with Maxwell you can calculate what time you should start charging it. If you charge your vehicle with different apps and want to control in one place how much you've recharged and what it cost you, Maxwell is for you. You can manage several vehicles, multiple charging points, different rates... In addition, if you're a Tronity user, you can use its API to download your vehicle's data or the recharges you've made and personalize them a little more.
