We connect home electricity rate data with EV battery metrics to show you the cost of every charge. Securely login to your EV's app, automatically find your electric utility costs using your home address and see your EV's impact on your electric bill. We also get rid of range anxiety with charge forecasting, and use home electricity rates and real-time gas prices in your area to accurately calculate the amount you save by driving electric.
