For our newest app update, we’ve added a Radar Function to the app. Additionally, all estimated trip costs will now be based on your current mobility plan, not the Backup Plan.
Note: These features were only available in the Beta App until the new app is released on October 7, 2024.

Evie Carshare: Radar Function
The Radar Function alerts you when there is an Evie nearby. You can schedule it ahead of time or leave it active for up to 24 hours. A notification will be sent to your phone to let you know when a car is within your preferred walking distance.
1. Select the three dots on the top right corner
2. Select “Set a radar”
3. Set your preferred location by entering the address or positioning the pin on the map. Since you can select a time in the future, this could be a future location such as a baseball game, concert venue, or your in-office day.
•Select your preferred vehicle type in orange; the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf Plus have the most range capacity if you need the car for a longer trip.
3. Choose your time preferences for available vehicles. The “Now” toggle sets the time to any vehicle available.
• Choose a duration that you want the radar to be active, up to 24 hours long.
• Adjust the search radius for how far you’re willing to walk to pick up an Evie.
4. Confirm your choices. The final screen is a verification of the information you selected. Once verified, select “Set Radar”. You’ll see a radar icon displayed at the location identified in Step 3.
5. Once the Radius Function is active, you’ll see the area turn pink. This lets you know that the function is active and searching for an available Evie.
6. You’ll receive a push notification once an Evie is available on your phone. Make sure you have notifications selected for the Evie Carshare App on your smartphone.
7. Open the app, reserve your Evie of choice, and have a great trip!
Trip Pricing by Mobility Plan
More Transparent Pricing
Trip pricing in the app now calculates your cost based on your mobility plan. On Evie trips, you’ll see the savings offered by your plan when compared to the Backup Plan. On HOURCAR trips, you’ll see your mobility plans pricing when you book your vehicle.
