Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
EV charging (the headline theme)
- Real ad-hoc charging prices right at each station — €/kWh from the official AFIR / Mobilithek feed (10 operator feeds, ~26,000 charging points), instead of just an OSM hint.
- Live availability: free / busy / out of service per station; busy ones are pushed to the bottom in the charging-stop planner, with the cheapest free one preselected.
- Selectable charging stops with per-station cost and a total charging cost for the route.
- Charging-card tariffs + wizard: pick your own charging card per stop (EnBW S/M/L, ADAC, Maingau, EWE Go, Shell, ad-hoc) and see the approximate cost — home-network price vs. AC/DC roaming plus blocking fee.
- New: "Find free station" button in EV mode → a list of nearby free charging stations (~12 km, sorted by distance: distance · number free · €/kWh · kW); selecting one pans the map to it.
Routing
- Your last-used routing profile is now remembered and restored on launch.
Fix
- Added the INTERNET permission to the release manifest (Android release builds had no network access without it).
