A proper instrument for your electric car. Live power on a dial that moves like the real thing, miles per kWh, and a range figure based on how you actually drive, not the brochure. Plus battery health, charging and what it all costs.
No menus to dig through. The dial and the numbers you care about are on the first screen, and you choose which numbers those are.
Power, speed, mi/kWh, battery and range at a glance.
Pick the dial, the tiles and what the big needle shows.
Photographed housings and clean drawn dials, day and night.
Health against new, cell balance, since last charge.
Pence per mile, the saving against petrol, a mileage log.
A rev counter for an electric car: kW, bhp, speed or estimated torque, with regen in green. The needle sweeps continuously, as a real one does.
Energy left multiplied by how you have really been driving. See the range at 50, 60 and 70 mph, and how far the last mile would take you.
Right now, this trip, the last 10 and 100 miles, and since your last charge. Kilometres and your own currency if you prefer.
Type the distance to go and watch the battery you will arrive with, updating as you drive, with advice on the speed to hold.
Capacity today against new, cell balance where the car reports it, a cold-battery note and a 12V battery warning before it lets you down.
Every charge logged. Pence per mile, the saving against a petrol car, and a business mileage log you can export as a spreadsheet.
A live panel with the main dial and your four chosen readings on the CarPlay dashboard, the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island.
Choose which readings show as dials and tiles, and add new ones the app finds by scanning your car.
0–60 timer, peak power, hills accounted for, and the best figures kept for each car in your garage.
Twenty-five photographed instrument housings with a needle that sweeps to the reading, and fifteen drawn dials: round, D-shaped, hexagonal and widescreen. Each has a day and a night version.
A small Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi OBD dongle (about £15 to £30, sold separately) goes in the socket under the dashboard. It stays there.
Open EVgauge, tap Find my dongle, pick your car. From then on the app recognises the car and connects by itself when you get in.
The dial comes alive as soon as the car does. Put the panel on CarPlay or the Lock Screen and keep the phone in your pocket if you prefer.
Dongles: it must be Bluetooth LE (4.0 or newer) or Wi-Fi; older Bluetooth dongles do not work with iPhone. We have tested the Vgate iCar Pro BLE and the PLX Kiwi 3. EVgauge only reads from the car; it never writes to it or changes any setting.
Readings worked out by owners and checked on a real car against its own display: power, battery, cell voltages, temperatures, lifetime energy and more.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6, Kia EV6 and EV9, VW ID.4, Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, MG ZS EV, Peugeot e-208, Toyota Proace Electric and others, imported from public data and marked Experimental until owners confirm them.
The app can scan your car and send us what it finds, which is how new cars get added. Tell us what you drive. Teslas are not supported: they have no OBD port in the usual sense.
No subscription, ever. Pro is a single purchase through your Apple ID and carries over to your other iPhones.
Enough to check EVgauge works with your car.
Everything the app can do, for good.
No. The app is free, Pro is a one-off purchase, and there is no account to create. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to send us a problem report.
Yes. EVgauge only asks the car for readings. It never writes to the car or changes any setting. The dongle draws a tiny current; unplug it if the car will stand for weeks.
Because it reads the same way as mpg: bigger is better. If you prefer kilometres, switch in Setup and everything follows, including km/kWh and your own currency.
The BYD Seal is checked on a real car. Around thirty other EVs are included from public data and marked Experimental. If yours is not there, the app can scan it and send us what it finds; that is how cars get added.
Not yet. iPhone first; Android if enough people ask.
