Android app to find electric vehicle charging stations.

• Material Design
• Shows all charging stations from the community-maintained GoingElectric.de and Open Charge Map directories
• Realtime availability information (only in Europe)
• Search for places
• Advanced filtering options, including saved filter profiles
• Favorites list, also with availability information
• Integrated price comparison using Chargeprice.app (only in Europe)
• Android Auto & Android Automotive OS integration
• No ads, fully open source
• Compatible with Android 5.0 and above
• Can use Google Maps or OpenStreetMap as map backends - the version available on F-Droid only uses OSM.

The App is developed using Android Studio and should pretty much work out-of-the-box when you clone the Git repository and open the project with Android Studio.

The only exception is that you need to obtain some API keys for the different data sources that EVMap uses and put them into the app in the form of a resource file called apikeys.xml under app/src/main/res/values. You can find more information on which API keys are necessary for which features and how they can be obtained in our documentation page.

There are four different build flavors, googleNormal, fossNormal, googleAutomotive, and fossAutomotive.

• The foss variants only use OSM data for the base map and place search. They should run on most Android devices, even those without Google Play Services.
  • fossNormal is intended to run on smartphones and tablets, and also includes the Android Auto app for use on the car display (however Android Auto may not work if the app is not installed from Google Play, see #319).
  • fossAutomotive can be installed directly on Android Automotive OS (AAOS) headunits without Google services. It does not provide the usual smartphone UI, and requires an implementation of the AOSP template app host to be installed. If you are an OEM and would like to distribute EVMap to your AAOS vehicles, please get in touch.
• The google variants also include access to Google Maps data.
  • googleNormal is intended to run on smartphones and tablets, and also includes the Android Auto app for use on the car display.
  • googleAutomotive can be installed directly on car infotainment systems running the Google-flavored Android Automotive OS (Google Automotive Services / "Google built-in"). It does not provide the usual smartphone UI, and requires the Google Automotive App Host to run, which should be preinstalled on those cars and can be updated through the Play Store.

We also have a special documentation page on how to test the Android Auto app.

Many users currently support the development EVMap with their donations. You can find more information on the Donate page on the EVMap website.

Since May 2024, JawgMaps provides their OpenStreetMap vector map tiles service to EVMap for free, i.e. the background map displayed in the app if OpenStreetMap is selected as the data source.

Since April 2021, Chargeprice.app provide their price comparison API at a greatly reduced price for EVMap. This data is used in EVMap's price comparison feature.
