chargEV v4: More Transparency, More Comfort, More Future
Since we released chargEV 3.0 in May 2021, a lot has changed in e-mobility. Electric vehicles are no longer a niche—they’re part of everyday life. The charging-station network keeps growing and is now remarkably reliable.
But instead of asking “Where can I charge?”, drivers now wonder “Where do I want to charge?” And “want” often comes down to price: who wants to pay €0.89 /kWh when there are cheaper options?
From the Price Jungle to Clarity
Free charging offers have almost vanished, along with flat-rates or €0.02/min deals. Network operators need to cover their investments—so fair pricing is kick-started. The good news: the cheap charging card may be gone, but Ad-Hoc options are on the rise:
- No registration or minimal setup
- Payment via PayPal, credit card, or SEPA
- Transparent pricing with no monthly fees
This is exactly where chargEV v4 comes in: the app displays the current tariffs for each charging point—including a direct link to the operator’s site so you can register or start charging in seconds.
Your Favorites. Your Rules.
In chargEV v4, you can add operator favorites and filter your search by preferred providers. That way, you keep both price and reliability in view.
Route Planning Rethought
With chargEV v4, you can plan multi-hop routes with any points of interest—not just charging stations. Whether it’s a café, supermarket, or scenic lookout, you choose all the stops that fit your journey.
Completely Redeveloped – For iOS 17 and Beyond
We’ve cut the old code and rewritten the app from the ground up. Leveraging modern frameworks and native iOS 17 features, you’ll enjoy faster load times, smoother navigation, and a more sustainable codebase. To stay cutting-edge, we’ve dropped support for older iOS versions.
