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

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

## Integrations

## Maintenance minder

- As a beta feature, availability may change over time.
