Never guess if a charger will work for your car again. RouteCharge plans EV road trips around chargers that actually fit your car — turning charging anxiety into a plan you can trust, before you ever leave the driveway. COMPATIBILITY YOU CAN TRUST Every charging station is matched against your exact vehicle's connectors and charging limits — automatically. No more arriving at a "fast" charger your car can't actually use at speed. When compatibility or live availability can't be confirmed, RouteCharge says so clearly instead of guessing. ROUTES BUILT AROUND YOUR CAR Search a destination and RouteCharge instantly works out where — and whether — you need to charge, using your car's real usable battery and charging curve. Every leg of the trip shows arrival battery, charging duration, and drive time, at a glance. No stop needed? RouteCharge says so plainly instead of inventing one. NEW: APPLE WATCH Your trip, on your wrist. A companion Watch app with exactly what's useful from the wrist — your active route, nearby chargers, and favorites — plus complications for ETA, battery on arrival, and the nearest charger, always one glance away. NEW: CARPLAY RouteCharge, built into your dashboard. Nearby chargers, your current route, and one-tap navigation handoff to Apple Maps or Google Maps — without ever needing to pick up your phone. LIVE ACTIVITIES & DYNAMIC ISLAND Your trip, always visible. Destination, ETA, battery on arrival, and your next charging stop — right on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, updating automatically as you drive. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Everything important, one glance away. Nearby chargers, your current route, Home & Work shortcuts, and your favorite charger — straight from your Home Screen or Lock Screen. BEYOND THE APP Ask Siri to find nearby chargers or navigate home. Add RouteCharge to your Home Screen, widgets, or the Action Button. Search saved vehicles and recent routes straight from Spotlight — RouteCharge fits into your day, not the other way around. HONEST BY DESIGN This is what sets RouteCharge apart: time estimates are marked "Approx." because real speed depends on temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. Live availability is shown only when a network actually reports it — never faked. Compatibility that isn't confirmed is labeled "unknown," never rounded up to a confident answer you can't rely on. Choose your own electric vehicle and let RouteCharge plan using its real usable battery capacity, charging limits, and connector types. Free to explore every charger — RouteCharge Pro unlocks vehicle-specific routing built entirely around you.
