Description

Your personal automative assistant and OBD scanner, now supporting CarPlay, Shortcuts, and iCloud sync.

Electric Sidecar is designed specifically for Apple platforms and with privacy and data security in mind. It's your car, your data, your journey.

No connected services on your car? No problem: use an OBD scanner + iCloud sync to see your offline car data on your Apple Watch, iPad, and widgets.

The app works best in combination with an OBD scanner and/or a Connected Account (Beta). Without either, you can still pull NHTSA recall notices for your vehicle and track trips.

Get 30 seconds of OBD scanning for free. Extend this time by purchasing ScanPasses for either 24 hours or 7 days, or by purchasing a subscription.

## Privacy and security

- All data is stored on your device and never sent to third party servers. If you use iCloud sync, your data will be stored on your personal, encrypted iCloud database accessible only to you.
- Sign in with Connected Accounts (Beta) uses OAuth industry standards for authentication.

## OBD scanner

- Use a connected OBD scanner to read real-time data from your vehicle.
- Requires a separate purchase of an OBD scanner.
- Manage your OBD scanners from CarPlay.

- Optimized for all-day use without being a drain on your phone's battery.

## Integrations

UKTIVO ,

Excellent work. Excellent information

I’ve been lucky enough to have been one of the beta testers for this app. What excellent work. The designer has really thought about what is needed, this is because, like all great apps, he required this information himself and noticed there was nothing in the market that gave it to him, so, he made it available himself.

If you own one of the electric cars that’s covered, you need to get this app. The widgets for the iPhone are great, allowing multiple bits of information and control right on your Home Screen. The watch integration is the same. Just the sheer amount of information about your car, trips taken and battery charging is incredible. In terms of stability, I’ve been using the app daily for at least 5 months without a single issue. Prior to this, there were teething problems, but the designer listened to feedback and fixed all of them in record time.

An excellent app with excellent support. It needs to be commended.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the kind review! Been having a blast making this app and it’s great to know it’s been useful for you :)

An ever expanding set of features

I initially downloaded to get Apple Watch icons showing state of charge for my Taycan.

The feature set is now expanding in directions I could never have foreseen and for more vehicles.

Brilliant stuff from a highly talented, experienced and committed developer.
