Read full description

EV Route Log is a simple, private charging journal for electric vehicle owners. Log every charging session โ€” date, mileage, battery percentage, energy delivered, cost, and currency โ€” for one or more vehicles, and let the app do the math for you. FEATURES โ€ข Track charging sessions with car- and station-side energy readings โ€ข Automatic average consumption (kWh/100km), charging losses, and cost-per-km โ€ข Monthly and yearly spending & energy statistics, broken down by currency โ€ข Support for day/night electricity tariffs โ€ข Works fully offline in guest mode, or sign in to sync across devices โ€ข Light, dark, and additional visual themes EV Route Log Pro (optional, auto-renewing subscription) removes ads and unlocks tracking more than one vehicle. No ads are shown unless you're on the free tier, and even then only a single ad after finishing a charge โ€” never mid-session.
