EV Chargebook Pro is the complete charging log for your electric vehicle — for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with built-in intelligence. Log every charge, keep an eye on your costs and let Intelligence handle the rest. EV Chargebook Intelligence The heart of the app: Intelligence learns from your charging history and fills in fields automatically — charger type, connector, provider, energy, cost, duration and more. Stations within 5 km appear as chips with the provider detected automatically. Weather is captured automatically as you charge. Logging a Charge Energy (kWh), cost, duration, state of charge (SOC), location, provider, AC/DC connectors, notes, tags and odometer.
