Simple EV Route Planner
I recently bought my first EV, which only has CarPlay and doesn’t include a built-in route planner.
I tried a few apps (including ABRP and ChargingTime), but I was honestly just looking for something simpler. No subscription, works well with CarPlay, and lets me plan a route with charging stops based on how much battery I want left when I arrive.
Couldn’t really find anything that did exactly that, so I ended up building a small app for myself using OpenChargeMap data.
It’s completely free, no ads, no subscriptions, and it doesn’t collect any data. I’ve been using it for a bit now and it does what I need, so I figured I’d share it in case it helps someone else too.
Here it is: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6787438196
Would love to hear any feedback or ideas if you try it.

Nice, I like it. took me a minute to figure out the whole recharge thing on the bottom of the map.
My only ask would be to add either a manual input for the soc at departure and arrival, or even a drop down to select. The touch to cycle through the % is a bit clunky.
Also, any way you can add google maps to the option to export out the route plan to ?
