Plan a trip.
Tell us your car and where you're going. We'll route through reliable fast chargers — not just the closest ones — and tell you exactly what it'll cost.

Understand your electrical panel.
Answer a few questions about your home and we'll estimate what your panel can support — so you walk into the electrician conversation informed, with the right questions ready. Snap a photo of the breaker box too: it stays on this page for your records (the estimate comes from your answers, not the photo). Educational estimate, not an electrical assessment.
Your home
Electricians near you, right now
Pulled live from the open map around your set location. Get 2–3 quotes, ask for "a 240V EV charger circuit with a load calculation," and confirm the license number with your state board.
Want this done? Get matched with a licensed installer.
Leave your contact and we'll connect you with a licensed, insured electrician for a home charger quote — your panel numbers above come attached, so the quote is grounded in reality.
Honesty note: if we connect you with a partner installer, we may earn a referral fee from them — never from you, and it never changes the advice above. Prefer to go local on your own? Totally fine.
Which EV is actually right for you?
Six honest questions. No dealer kickbacks. We'll tell you what to buy — and if "wait 18 months" is the smarter answer, we'll say that too.
Buying used? Reality-check the battery in 30 seconds.
Ask the seller for two numbers off the dash — current battery % and the range it's showing. With the original EPA range, that's enough to estimate the battery's health before you drive an hour to see a lemon.
Dash estimates wobble with temperature and recent driving — treat this as a screen, not a verdict. Original EPA range: look up the exact year + trim on fueleconomy.gov.
Find every rebate.
Federal, state, and utility incentives layered together. Most calculators only show the federal $7,500. The real number is usually higher.
Live: current laws & incentives in your state
Pulled directly from the U.S. DOE's Alternative Fuels Data Center — the federal database of every EV law and incentive program.
Can I still claim the federal EV tax credit?
The §30D federal credit (up to $7,500 new EV / $4,000 used) ended for purchases after September 30, 2025. But a couple of paths are still alive. Walk through this to find out which apply to you.
This is general information, not tax advice. Credit rules, income caps, and eligible-vehicle lists change — confirm your situation with a tax professional and the official IRS guidance before filing.
Your EV, run like a portfolio.
Pilot unifies your real charging behavior, your utility's rates, and gas parity into one honest ledger — including the number nobody else will show you: what you're leaving on the table.
What going electric saves, state by state.
Annual fuel savings for a typical 12,000-mile driver — each state's residential electricity rate against a 30-MPG gas car. Tap your state for the math. Overnight TOU rates usually beat these averages.
Method: 12,000 mi/yr · gas at 30 MPG · EV at 3.5 mi/kWh on each state's average residential rate. Map data © OpenStreetMap-independent public-domain geometry. Live EIA pricing activates automatically when the Chargeour backend is connected. Find your utility's cheap window →
When should you charge to save?
Most utilities charge 2–4× more for power during peak evening hours. Charging your EV in the right window can cut your fuel cost in half. Find your utility's cheapest hours — and what it's worth.
Don't see yours? Pick the closest, or use the national-average baseline at the bottom. We're adding more utilities continuously.
The three things that actually matter
Rates and time windows are approximate, based on published 2026 utility schedules, and change frequently. Always confirm current rates and plan availability directly with your utility before switching plans. This is a planning estimate, not a rate quote.
The apartment EV toolkit.
One-third of EV owners rent. Eleven states have "right to charge" laws. Most landlords — and most renters — don't know they exist. Time to fix that.
Generate your landlord letter
A polished, legally-grounded request your landlord can't ignore. Cites your state's right-to-charge law if one exists.
Know your rights
Right-to-charge laws by state. If you live in one of these, your landlord can't unreasonably deny a charger install.
Can you live there with an EV? — address reality check
Considering an apartment (or any home) without your own charger? Paste the address and we check the public-charging reality around it — straight from the U.S. DOE federal station database, plus your state's right-to-charge law.
Build a tenant coalition
One renter asking for a charger is easy to ignore. Five is harder. Use this to gauge demand in your building before approaching management.
What do you need help with?
Tap any moment below or just describe what's happening. We route you to the right person — free. When we earn a referral fee, we say so. When something's genuinely your best bet elsewhere, we send you there.
EV ownership,

Built by EV owners who got tired of broken chargers, sketchy "matcher" quizzes, and rebate calculators that lie. The honest concierge for every common EV moment — from "where's a charger that actually works" to "I'm stuck and need a tow." Free. No dealer kickbacks. No affiliate-driven nonsense.
Your EV, run like a portfolio.
Twelve modules that watch your money, your battery, and your car — your savings vs gas, the rate you're leaking, new rebates the moment they appear, open recalls on your exact vehicle, a resale-ready battery log, and an IRS-ready mileage ledger. Works on any EV. No account. Nothing leaves your device.
Built for the questions Google can't answer.
Find chargers that actually work.
Real-time map of every public charger in the country, scored by historical reliability. Filter out the broken ones before you drive there. The thing PlugShare should have built years ago.
Open mapPlan trips without anxiety.
Tell us your car, your battery %, and where you're going. We route through the most reliable fast chargers — not the closest ones. With honest cost + time estimates.
Plan a tripCould your panel handle a charger?
A few questions about your home → an honest estimate of what your panel can support, so you walk into the electrician conversation knowing the right questions. Prep, not a replacement for the pro.
Take a lookWhich EV should you actually buy?
A 6-question quiz that tells you what to buy — and what to skip. We don't take dealer money. Sometimes "wait 18 months" is the right answer.

Stuck at a broken charger. Range dropped suddenly. Someone hit your car. Used Bolt with a battery you can't see.

The U.S. savings atlas.
A real map of America, colored by what going electric actually saves in every state — your state's true electricity rate against a 30-MPG gas car, updated from federal data. Tap your state, see the math, settle the argument.
Open the mapThe apartment & HOA negotiation kit.
A third of EV owners live in apartments. 11 states have "right to charge" laws — most renters have no idea. Generate a custom letter to your landlord, with the legal citations they can't ignore. Build coalition with your neighbors. Get the charger you deserve.
Generate your letterThree things nobody else does.
No kickbacks. None.
Other EV sites get paid by dealers, charger networks, or whoever ranks first. We earn referral fees only from certified home-charger and solar installers — and only when you ask us to find one — at the same price you'd get going direct. Everything else is free and unaffiliated: OEM roadside, rebate research, the troubleshooter, battery health routing.
Post-OBBBA truth.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act killed the federal §30D EV credit on September 30, 2025. Every other EV calculator on the internet is still showing "claim your $7,500" — months out of date. We track legislation week-by-week, surface the lease loophole that still works, and list every state program with current sunset dates.
Moments, not categories.
You don't wake up needing a "service category." You wake up stuck at a charger, or about to buy a used Bolt with a battery you can't see, or wondering if your apartment lease lets you install an L2. We organize the entire product around those moments — not around our own taxonomy. The Help tab speaks human, not enterprise.
