Frequently Asked Questions

What is EVcourse?

EVcourse is an app that teaches you how EV charging works (and you'll also learn a bit about electric cars). Quizzes, flashcards, and short lessons covering everything from charging basics to nearby chargers, payments, road trips, and battery care.

Think of it as a crash course in EV charging that fits in your pocket.

Is the app free?

Yes, EVcourse is free to download and use. No account, no subscription, no in-app purchases. You can create an Apple account, if you want to save your progress across devices.

What will I learn?

• How EV charging works (AC vs DC, terminology, concepts, what the numbers mean, charging speeds)
• How to find and use nearby public chargers
• Payment methods options, what are RFID cards, and a bit about charging network apps
• How to plan road trips and handle different charging networks
• Battery care and better charging habits
• Charging etiquette and best practices

How are the lessons structured?

You choose how you want to learn: quizzes, flashcards, or both.

Flashcards cover one concept at a time. Tap to reveal the answer, then move on. No grades, just a way to check your understanding.

Is this a charger finder app?

No. EVcourse is an education app that teaches you about EV charging. But one of the topics covers finding chargers, and the app shows you nearby chargers too.

Does the app work offline?

Yes! All quizzes, flashcards, and lesson content is stored locally on your device. You can learn anywhere, even without an internet connection.

How long does it take to complete?

Each quiz takes under a minute usually. There are 100+ quizzes and more coming up! But you can select what topics you want to learn, no need to do all the quizzes. The app tracks your progress so you can pick up where you left off.

Do I need to create an account?

No. EVcourse works without an account, email, or sign-up. Just download and start learning. Your progress is saved locally on your device. You can create an account with Apple, if you want to save your progress across devices.

I'm renting an EV. Is this useful?

Very much so. If you've never charged an EV before, spending 10 minutes with EVcourse before your rental will save you time and frustration at the charger. You'll know the basic concepts, practise real-word scenarios, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Who made this?

EVcourse is built by a small team of EV engineers in the Nordics, originally founded by N. Patkai, M.Sc. Eng. We got tired of watching new EV drivers struggle with charging and built an app to fix that.

Is the app still being updated?

Yes. We regularly add new quizzes, flashcards, and content based on user feedback and changes in the EV charging world. The app is actively developed and improved.

Can I suggest improvements?
