Frequently Asked Questions

The batteries on the map Waypoint Inspector popup and the Segment Details panel show the state of charge upon arrival. (Note the origin shows the departure SoC). The colors of the battery image matches the car and mean:

1. Green – over 20% SOC should be available on arrival
2. Yellow – over 10% and up to 20% SOC available on arrival
3. Red – 10% or less SOC should be available on arrival
4. Blue – the energy reserved at the destination for local travel

In the My Cars feature you can set the battery life percent of your car. You indicate the rated distance the car achieves based on charging to 90%. This will be used in the range calculations.

The battery represents the SOC that you will have when you arrive at that waypoint (the origin battery represents the SoC at the start of the trip). Since you can retain a certain amount of energy at a destination for local travel, we show both levels on the battery. Charging waypoints also show you the estimated departure charge amount in diagonal gold stripes.

Note: Also indicated below the battery is the numeric SoC for both arrival and departure.

Note: Energy reserved for local travel is shown on the battery in blue.

When your car was first manufactured it had a maximum range. Over time the battery will degrade and you will obtain less and less range than what the car was when new. This will affect the accuracy of the calculation the that EVTO application makes in its trip optimization. To correct this we have allowed you to indicate what the battery life is of your car, contained in the Battery Life in the My Cars panel.

To determine your current battery life percent:

1. Switch your cars display from percent to rated range
2. Charger your car to 90%
3. Note the rated range available and enter it in My Cars

For example: A brand new Model X 90D with 20″ wheels had an advertised EPA range of 257 miles. 90% of that maximum range is 231 miles. Your car, at 90% charge, is showing 215 rated miles.

There are a lot of influences to how much time it takes to charge the car. The app has many models depending on the charger type and the arrival and departure SOC estimates. In addition at the charger itself the number of users, how they are paired and the weather can all play a role. At best the estimates the app gives are the best case scenario. Your times may often be longer.

Note: The minimum charging time is set to 10 minutes. Even though you may only need a few minutes of charge to reach the desired SOC, the app will never charge for less than 10 minutes. There is also a 5 minute (tailorable in My Cars) interval set aside for setting up and taking the car down for charging. So each charging stop will be a minimum of 15 minutes in duration, where at least 10 minutes is spent charging.

First it is important that you have correctly entered your cars values in the My Cars menu item on the main panel and that your travel date and time are correctly entered in the Edit Segment Details panel. If you have done that and your trips are always over or under estimated, you should adjust your Speed Adjust and/or Power Factor.

Adjusting the speed adjust or power factor can be done in the Edit Segment Details menu item from the Plan Trip panel. Note if you change the value here it will only be applied for the current trip segment. A negative number will be more conservative in its consumption estimates while a positive number will be more aggressive.

The power factor and speed adjust only applies to the driving portion of the optimization algorithm and is essentially a driving style adaptation. If you drive very conservatively you may need a lower power factor setting while if you drive more aggressively, and use the brakes rather than regen braking, you will need a higher setting. The speed adjust is added to the speeds that Google estimates, above 30 mph.

Yes. Go to the waypoint pushpin and select the Edit icon. Change the Minimum SOC for that waypoint. This will force the upstream charger to attempt to satisfy this demand.

Note: If you want to change the minimum SoC for a automatic charger, you will have to make it required first. You do that by the waypoint Require button.

This feature is contained in the Edit Segment Details popup panel in the Plan Trip menu.

You enter your required reserve in distance based on your settings (mi or km).

Those spikes are caused by short bursts of energy consumed or generated when you arrive or depart waypoints. This is often because your are accelerating/decelerating, climbing/descending or just starting out. While we try to smooth as much of that as possible, you may still see this effect at every stopping place if its significant. These can also appear for short trip legs with drastically different energy consumption patterns such as a short climb up a hill after a turn.

By default the app uses energy percent (% SoC) for reporting available and consumed energy in many dialogs. You can change this in Settings to use distance.

You can adjust the Power Factor in the Trip Details panel to adjust for the extra energy required in towing a trailer. Also increase the payload if necessary and use the Maximum Speed to limit your speed if necessary.

Please see the tutorial Towing with EVTO for an in depth look at how powerful EVTO is for planning travel with a Tesla while towing a trailer.

You add this in the My Cars feature for the default for each car. Then when you create a new trip this will become the value for the trip and any new trip segments.

If you later want to change the speed adjust for a trip or trip segment, you will do this via the Edit Segment Details panel.

You set these in My Cars. This will then become the default for any new trips. Each trip retains these settings so you will need to change them on a trip basis in either Edit Trip Details or Edit Segment Details panels.

First you must turn on calendar syncing in the Tesla mobile app. See the Settings – Calendar Sync option. The calendar entries from your mobile device will only synchronize to the car when the Tesla app is active. So after using the EVTO and adding calendar entries, ensure that the Tesla app is also active when you want to synchronize the calendar on your mobile device. For iOS users check on the iPhone under General>Restrictions>Privacy>Calendar the setting must be “allow changes”.

Currently we are not interfacing directly with the car and have no immediate plans to do so. Tesla does not provide a secure and reliable way to obtain data in a published manner. We value your privacy and are not willing to take on the responsibility of being a potential security leak to your privacy or safety.

Truth be told there is very little value we can obtain from accessing the data in your car. Our algorithms are science based and do not use statistics or deep data mining to try to guess the best possible solution like many other offerings do.

We love to here from our users and are anxious to help you get the most value from EVTO or to resolve issues you may encounter. The best way to contact us is to use the Feedback Report on the main menu. If the problem is trip related, be sure to select the Active Trip checkbox so we can get see the details.

E-mail us at info@digitalautoguides.com We are always looking for people with extended requirements and extra time to try various scenarios and help debug the application.

All trip data is stored on the mobile device. During Refresh Auto Chargers the list of your chosen waypoints is sent to a server to be used for routing. No personal or car identification information is included and the data is not stored or used beyond the few seconds the optimization takes place.

Note: If you share a trip then the trip data is stored in the cloud for 30 days, but no association to a car or user is kept in the cloud. Trips are protected by a long unique ID and a special PIN that you create.

Raw trip data is embedded in the app and is not user consumable. However if you have a subscription you can get a Comma Separated Variable (CSV) version of all the energy and travel data for each leg of the trip to be used in other programs like spreadsheets.

To access this data go to Segment Details and select Export Data.

You can share your trips with other EVTO users from the Current Trips panel. Use the Share Trip to select a trip to be shared. The application will prompt you for a unique four PIN and create an email for you to send to your recipient(s).

To receive a shared trip you will need the unique Trip ID and PIN as sent in the email and use the Import Trip menu item. Just copy the ID and PIN from the email into the popup panel.

Note: If you import a trip without a subscription, it will replace your currently active trip. You will be prompted before the application carries out this action in case you want to cancel the request.

If you anticipate migrating to a new device you should Share any trips you want to save to yourself. Then when you receive the new device and install the EVTO application, you can then import the shared trips.

Note that any In App Purchases (IAP) you have made are with your account and not the device. So when you get your device and install the EVTO application, just use the Restore Purchases menu item.

This is by design. After you make changes to your Settings or the car that is attached to a trip, you must make a change to the trip or select Refresh Auto Chargers from the Plan Trip menu. In addition some trip attributes like the SoC settings on waypoints and Edit Segment and Trip Details will be preserved at their original values. You will need to manually change these in each trip if you wish.

The cabin climate control is based on the payload. If you exceed 500 lbs of payload on a split system car like the Model X, the climate control energy is increased automatically. This option can be turned off/on in the My Cars menu item, Rear Climate Control checkbox.

Generally choosing a subscription should take you to your devices store where you can confirm your subscription and the transaction will be processed.

If you are having trouble completing your subscription please check the following:

• You are using the correct email account for your store
• No restrictions have been placed on other devices or family members on your account
• You are not using a VPN on your device. If so temporarily disable it until you complete the subscription
• You have a reliable network connection

You manage your subscriptions via iTunes or Google Play directly. You can cancel subscriptions with EVTO through the stores only.

To make access to your subscriptions easier, EVTO provides a direct link to your stores subscription services from the Subscription Info item on the main menu. See the Manage button.

If you wish to change from one subscription type to another, cancel your current subscription and then when the subscription expires, simply order the subscription type you wish from the EVTO main menu.

We have to pay service providers (this website, server optimization, cloud services, weather, trip routing, elevations, charger locations) a fee based on usage.

By default the application allows you to plan one trip for no charge up to 300 mi/800 km. You can delete this trip or change it as you wish. We feel that heavier users that plan many trips per month or longer more complex trips, should pay for the services they are consuming.

Unfortunately yes. The subscriptions are purchased through each store and there is no way to provide a credit between them.

Note your trips can be shared between the two devices by using the Share feature in Current Trips.

Unfortunately Family plans, per Apple, do not support sharing of in app purchases (subscriptions) between family members.

In some cases you may not be getting a credit for a subscription you purchased. If this happens please try the following:

• Select Restore Purchases from the main menu
• Make sure you are using the exact account you made the original purchase with. Family plans don’t support sharing In App Purchases from Apple.
• If you have a Family Plan make sure that no devices are set for purchase restrictions. You can turn off all the restrictions and then do the Restore Purchase and then you should be able to turn them back on again.
• Check the Subscription Info menu item and go to the subscription (select Manage button) to insure that the subscription is still valid. Perhaps it expired or has some other issue present.

If these fail to restore your purchase please use the Feedback Report on the main menu and I will be happy to help you resolve the problem.

If you had a subscription and saved trips and then decide not to renew the subscription, your trips will be saved and you can renew or use them.

However you will only be able to replace the active trip when you create a new trip. You will not be allowed to add to your trips unless you renew your subscription.

You can see the feature list of the application by selecting Feature List from the main menu or going to Feature List webpage.

• Do not start your trip with a cold battery. Plan on charging for at least an hour before your first leg. If your battery is cold then the car will have to use some of it’s power to heat the battery and unfortunately EVTO cannot predict this so the range will be off on the first leg.
• Set Range Mode in your cars setting to use as little battery heat as you can. Turn Range Mode off when charging.
• Slow down and don’t go over the speed limit in legs you have a concern about. Speed is just like a head wind. It will use more energy.
• Monitor your real time usage in the car and perhaps limit cabin heating as much as possible until you feel you are going to safely make it. Supplement with the seat heaters which are more efficient than heating the entire cabin. Note the car calculates the remaining energy based on what it recently used so it’s not absolutely correct unless the rest of the trip matches what you have recently driven. Also note that the early parts of the trip may consume more energy based on the heating points above.
• In Edit Segment Details there is a setting labeled Minimum SoC. This will be the minimum target for any supercharger you visit. By default it is set to 15% in Settings, but you can change it individually for each trip segment in Edit Segment Details.
• For the destination and any manual stops you will find a slider that will increase the Minimum Arrival SoC in the Edit Waypoint dialog.
• You can also increase a setting called a Power Factor in Edit Segment Details. This will increase the consumption of the car more than normal. Try 5 at first.
• In the same dialog there is a slider called Speed Adjust. Increasing this will cause EVTO to estimate more energy consumption for that segment. But again I would not drive faster during these critical segments. You will just make matters worse.

EVTO has excellent features for estimating the special characteristics of winter driving with an Tesla, including battery heating in the Model S and Model X.  See the Tesla Winter Driving tutorial for a detailed example.

When you first select your destination and optionally an origin, the app shows you the routes Google Maps would take if you were driving an internal combustion engine (ICE) car when you select Manual. When you select Refresh Auto Chargers the app decides where to route to based on the fact that you are driving an EV and will need to charge it, so it could be that none of the routes Google picked prior (based solely on driving time), are appropriate for the given situation.

Check the Settings in the main menu and make sure you have selected the appropriate region. While you are there review the units you would like to work in and the default state of charge values. Also check to make sure that your speed adjust and power factor as well as Minimum State of Charge are appropriate in My Cars. These values can also be changed on trip basis too so look there also.

EVTO shows one trip at a time in the Plan Trip (map) panel. If you delete or archive the active trip, you will need to set another trip active.

Go to the Current Trips menu item and then select the name of the trip you want to activate. Your selected trip will now become the current or active trip and the Plan Trip panel will be loaded next.

Your starting SoC (origin) is determined by what you have setup in Settings when you created the trip. If you need to change the value after you have created the trip, then use the Edit Segment Details in the Plan Trip popup menu.

In most cases the Refresh Auto Chargers will provide sufficient arrival SoC to safely get you to the next charger or your destination in the follow segment. However if you need to you can increase the required arrival SoC in one of two ways:

• If you change the next segments Org SoC in Edit Segment Details it will force the prior destination to get that amount of SoC but it will not be sticky between Refresh Auto Chargers
• If you change the destination Minimum Arrival SoC then during Refresh Auto Chargers you will be insured at least that much energy. The auto charger optimizer may give you more but never less.

When you plan a trip you enter your destination. The application starts the trip at you current location unless you have also provided an origin. You can change the origin by editing it from the map pushpin. When you Refresh Auto Chargers, the application will chose the best route based on the optimization model chosen in Settings and conditions forecasted.

If you do not like the routing chosen for you, just add a waypoint (either pressing on the map or using the Add Waypoint menu item) anywhere along the route you desire. If needed you can repeat this process to further refine your desired routing. Be sure to Refresh Auto Chargers after you have settled on all our your added waypoints.

One of the biggest influences to your routing will be charging stops. The application will immediately let you know if you can safely reach the next charger to test your ideas. Try different chargers to influence the route and/or overall trips times. Refer to the Consumption and SoC charts to see how your energy is consumed en route.

Note: If you Dislike a supercharger, it will receive a time penalty and the application will attempt not to use that charger if there are other alternatives. This could dramatically change the routing for a given trip.

When you use the New Trip feature (from the main panel, Current Trips or Plan Trip menu) you will create a fresh trip. There is no need to delete waypoints, chargers or origin/destinations.

If you have not subscribed, then the currently active trip will be replaced. If you have subscribed then a new trip will be created and the currently active trip will still be available from the Current Trips menu item. You can delete unwanted saved trips from the Current Trips panel.

To change the status of a trip from Plan to Completed use the Status button after swiping left on the trip item. You can also rate the trip from this popup panel.

A continuation trip is a trip with multiple segments. An example would be a trip you took over many days (each day being a trip segment). The first segments destination becomes the next segments origin and so on until you return back to the original origin.

Note: If you change a origin or destination waypoint that is paired with another trip segment, both waypoints will be updated and both segments will be recalculated automatically.

The trip is handled as one large trip and you can easily move from segment to segment from the Trip Browser popup on the map. Use the little map icon on the right center of the map. The total trip stats are also included in the popup panel.

If you encounter a situation where you would like to divide a longer trip into two or more trip segments, you can use the Segment feature. Select the waypoint you would like to segment the trip at and select the Segment button from the Waypoint Inspector popup. After confirmation the active trip will be divided into two trip segments at that waypoint. This is a subscription feature.

When you split a segment at a waypoint the default is to start the new segment the next day. This in turn will affect the weather on all following segments. This could potentially change the power consumption on those legs which could change the map pin colors and reachability of waypoints.

• On smaller devices the Segment Summary waypoint list could get quite large and unusable
• If your routes overlays each other (like first driving from Seattle to Portland and then making a loop trip before going back to Portland and Seattle – a Q shaped trp), you could not tell which route was inbound or outbound on the tail of the Q and you would not know which waypoints went to which part of the trip on the map
• If the total multi-segment trip was shown on small devices, you could not see the details for your current days journey without constantly re-zooming/panning
• Each segment can have a different start date/time and therefore a more accurate depiction on the trip, better weather forecasting and it correctly depicts in your calendar for use in the cars navigation system.
• You are not required to use the multi-segment feature. You can plan your just trip as one unit if you wish. Just enter a waypoint for each logical segment endpoint.
• The total number of waypoints for the trip exceeds 3000 km.

EVTO V4 added this feature to automatically avoid tolls and ferries in it’s routing. You can select Avoid Ferries and Avoid Tolls in the Edit Trip Details panel.

You can also accomplish this by adding a waypoint(s) as needed to force the routing to avoid tolls and/or ferries.

Note that your segments must be less than 300 km to use these features.

There are six colors that can be depicted on the map push pins:

1. Green – indicates you should safely make it to this waypoint
2. Yellow – indicates you will probably make it to this waypoint within your set minimum SoC
3. Red – indicates it’s unlikely you will make it to this waypoint with the current limitations. You will need to review your settings or add additional charger(s) between the last green waypoint and the one that indicates red, and/or Refresh Auto Chargers
4. White – A white destination pushpin indicates the trip needs to be recalculated. This rarely displays for more that a few seconds.
5. Blue – The origin always has a blue pushpin
6. Grey – Chargers that are not waypoints or not needed for routing, but are shown as backups.

Note: The red, green and yellow colors are also utilized on the SoC chart with the same meanings.

All times are shown in the waypoint locations local time zone. So you if you start a trip at 09:00 in MT and then arrive in a PT waypoint one hour later, the arrival time will show as 09:00.

The app will recalculate after every change automatically. There is no need to select Refresh Auto Chargers unless you want EVTO to reconsider the automatically selected chargers. All of the energy calculations are done at each change you make in the app. There are two places you manually have to choose to optimize:

• When you create a trip you choose either Manual or Auto for supercharger allocation
• If you want the app to reconsider it’s automatic charger choices – choose Refresh Auto Chargers from the Plan Trip menu

The application, along with a set of servers, optimizes your trip through a set of fairly complex algorithms. Included in the models are:

• The characteristics of your car and loading/passengers
• The driving time and distance to all your regions superchargers
• Any additional waypoints you have selected
• The forecasted weather en route including temperature, wind speed/direction, road slush and precipitation
• Your driving power profile (power factor) and any speed adjustments or caps you have applied
• Estimated charging times
• Elevation gains or losses
• Nominal traffic flow and your estimated speed
• The starting and minimum SoC at waypoints
• Any constraints you have placed on waypoints such as minimum charge, return to last charger, reserved destination travel
• If you have Disliked any potential charging stops
• If you have selected Avoid Tolls or Avoid Ferries in the Edit Trip Details panel
• The optimization model chosen in Settings

The application actually optimizes in multiple passes. First the routing and superchargers are selected based on stops. Then an optimal route is chosen through the selected waypoints and chargers including traffic impacts. Lastly detailed energy consumption and charging times are determined based on fractions of trip segments using all the available information.

The application assists in optimizing your trip from a lot of different perspectives. Most prevalently you would optimize based on the least overall travel time. But you can also use the tool to optimize for least energy consumed, least amount of stops, or shortest distance if you have a current subscription. See the Settings to change how the optimization is performed.

The weather forecast can be updated every six hours by choosing Refresh Auto Chargers from the Plan Trip menu panel or automatically if you have made changes to the trip that effect the date and it’s out of the 48 hour period. EVTO caches the weather data for a 48 hour period starting at midnight for the arrival time to a waypoint.

EVTO uses driving directions for it’s routing. This results in various driving legs that are indiviually calculated by EVTO.  There are times when these legs are very long but there could be drastic differences in elevation, different weather or driving conditions. In this case EVTO does not have sufficient granularity to determine accurate estimate. If you suspect this might be the case adding a manual waypoint along the route will potentially increase EVTO’s ability to estimate the energy consumption. This is often the case when you see the chargers differing when adding a waypoint.

The application uses science based estimation in determining your travel needs. This means there is a set of algorithms based on the following:

• Trip distance
• Speed of travel
• Number of stops
• Driving style
• Weather – temperature, wind speed and direction, precipitation
• Road conditions
• Weight of car and passengers (payload)
• Car type and features
• Elevation changes
• Cabin temperature
• Climate control setting

In addition you can reserve additional energy at a destination for local travel.

The only real purpose is to remove trips from the list of trips that you are actively using in order to remove clutter. Archived trips can be restored if you need them for additional trip planning.

Each charger icon (pushpin) has a symbol embedded in it to let you know the type of charger it is. The symbols are the following:

1. S Tesla Supercharger
2. H Tesla HPWC
3. – Level 1 charger
4. = Level 2 charger
5. ≡ Level 3 charger
6. J J1772 charger
7. M CHAdeMO charger
8. E CEE charger
9. R Tesla Roadster chargers
10. C CCS chargers

Note: Before chargers are waypoints, they are shown in grey to let you know they are not part of the trip. Automatically selected chargers are shown with a small A contained within a red circle.

If you have viewed the Getting Started panels or created a trip, then you should be able to get to your current trip, or plan a new trip if there is no active trip, directly from the large Resume button on the main panel.

To change the active trip you will have to select one of the trips from the Current Trips panel.

Note that changing to a different car in My Cars will require you to reselect an active trip.

The solid line represents your cars advertised consumption average (rated consumption). The dashed line represents the active trips average energy consumption. You can tap on either line to see the value and label.

The consumption chart depicts your estimated average energy consumption for each driving leg. This can vary dramatically depending on terrain, weather and driving style.

Press the globe icon on the upper right corner of the map.

Whenever you make waypoint changes the current zoom is saved in case you want to further edit that location on the map. It will be reset to the entire trip if you return to the main panel.

Note: On Android devices you may use the small icon in the upper right corner of the map to make the map fill the entire device.

Note: On continuation (multi-segment or return) trips, only the active segment is zoomed when you press the Globe icon. You can see the entire trip by pressing and holding on the globe icon.

Small devices like the smart phone means it’s difficult to provide all of the information needed and still make it readable. The purposefully only shows you the details of one waypoint at a time. You can toggle to waypoint details by selecting the waypoint name in the list.

Not at this time. All of the charts are automatically generated so they are simple and easy to use. On the comparison chart you can select which trips and trip features you wish to compare so you have some flexibility there.

Check to make sure you don’t have Private Browsing turned on. The app uses the browser for some of it’s features and setting the browser to private will prohibit the app from starting.

You can stop at waypoints that are not for charging or when you want to stop for longer than the charging needs indicate. Choose the Edit icon from the Waypoint Inspector and then change the Minimum Stop Time slider.

Note: If you increase the Minimum Stop Time at a charger longer than EVTO estimates you need to, EVTO will keep charging the car for the remainder of the time up too 100% SoC.  You can see this in the interactive charging tool just above the Minimum Stop Time.

Note: You can only change these attributes on automatically selected chargers after you make the charger required.

To change the address of a waypoint after you have selected it is easy. Just use the Edit icon button on the waypoint pushpin and then enter your new address on the Edit Waypoint panel. The trip will be recalculated for you automatically but you will probably need to Refresh Auto Chargers if the new location is not close to the original location.

By default the origin is either at your current location or is the destination from a continuation or return trip.

If you want to plan a trip independent of your actual location, just enter your origin in the first box. If you later want to update the origin select the Origin pushpin and then select Edit. Now you can change the address and the program will automatically recalculate your route. You may need to select Refresh Auto Chargers for the trip segment if the new location is not close to the current location.

Note: If you have Location turned off in the settings, you will have to manually enter your origin for each trip.

Generally you should not have to reorder the waypoints as they are picked with the route for the most optimal trip. However there are conditions that may require changing the order of one or more waypoints.

Sometimes you may wish to force the waypoint order. If that is the case you may move any of the waypoints using the ∧ and ∨ buttons on the right of the waypoint in the Segment Browser popup. When you have reordered the list just select the Calculate New Routing button. If you wish to restore auto ordering of waypoints then select the Restore Auto Waypoint Order button.

Note: After you Refresh Auto Chargers for a trip, you may need to readjust any waypoints you manually moved out of order.

When you add a waypoint you can select what type of charger it has, if any. After you add a waypoint you can use the Edit button of the Waypoint Inspector popup to change the charger type. Select the type of charger for that waypoint.

There are three ways to manually include superchargers into your route:

1. Make an automatically selected Supercharger required.
2. Select the supercharger from the map
3. Entering the supercharger name after selecting Superchargers from the Charger Filter pull down on the Add Waypoint popup panel

You cannot edit a waypoint address of a charger that was predefined.

You can easily add any waypoint as a favorite which you can use when creating trips or adding waypoints. After the waypoint has been added select the pushpin on the map and when the popup window appears, you will notice a small heart at the top of the panel. Just select the heart (it will turn blue) to save that waypoint in your favorites or deselect it (it will turn clear) to remove it from your favorites.

To use the favorites just select the heart next to the address or place name on the New Trip or Edit/New Waypoint popup panels. A list of your favorites will appear.

Note: You can edit these favorites from the main menu, Maintain Favorites, menu item.

You can influence which chargers EVTO auto selects by Disliking superchargers. Select a supercharger pushpin (one that is not an automatically selected charger or not part of your trip). Then select the Thumbs Down icon which will turn red. This will force additional time on this supercharger during optimization and if possible, will cause it not to be used in future trips or routing.

You can deselect the Thumbs Down icon if you later wish to remove the Dislike, or use the Maintain Favorites item from the main menu.

To add a new supercharger by name versus selecting from the map select the Add Waypoint menu item. When the popup panel appears change the Charger Filter to Tesla Superchargers. Now you can enter the name of the supercharger in the Place Name field. It will find matching superchargers as you type so you don’t have to enter more than the first few characters.

You can also do this for Tesla destination chargers too using the same procedure.

We are currently evaluating adding the ability to see non Tesla chargers at a given place on the map for locations not based in North America. There is no estimated time for this feature.

Today you can add any type of charger you would like manually. Just use the Add Waypoint feature on the Plans menu. Select your charger type after approving the waypoint address. You can also make these added chargers a Favorite to be used over and over again.

We attempt to update the supercharger lists every week. The application will automatically download any new superchargers and Tesla destination chargers at application startup. If you need to add a new supercharger before that, use the Add Waypoint feature, specify the address and indicate it as a Tesla Supercharger.

If you are aware of a supercharger that is listed on Tesla’s webite that is active but not in EVTO, please send us an email.

If it is taking more than a few seconds to show the chargers when you select the lightning bolt map icon, it’s probably because your device is set to also show destination chargers.  To disable these go to the Filter Chargers on the Plans menu and uncheck Tesla HPWC. Then toggle the lighting bolt icon again.
