Essential CarPlay Apps for EV Owners in 2025

A Better Route Planner (ABRP)

ABRP is the most detailed EV trip planner. It custom routes by car model, offers live adjustments, charging time tracking—plus full CarPlay support. It’s a must-have for road trips.

Apple Maps

Apple Maps brings solid EV routing, but it’s limited to select models like the Mach-E, Lightning, and Taycan. It adds charging stops, shows real-time availability, and works seamlessly with CarPlay.

PlugShare

PlugShare is the go-to app for finding chargers across all networks. It shows plug types, stall counts, and user ratings—perfect when you want a complete view of every charging option nearby.

Electrify America

Electrify America is ideal if you use their network often. Find and filter chargers easily, and even start charging from CarPlay. It’s handy, though real-time charging info is still missing.

ChargePoint

ChargePoint offers a smooth experience for its own network. You can find chargers, apply filters, and start charging right from CarPlay.
