Description
Kilowatt is designed to streamline the process of determining when your electric car will be fully charged and ready to hit the road. While most electric vehicles come with a companion app, figuring out the exact time your battery will be full after connecting the charger can be a daunting task. Kilowatt simplifies this by allowing you to select your car model, charger type, and charging goal, and then notifying you when your battery reaches the desired percentage.
The Kilowatt app offers a range of useful features, including:
• Quick charge time estimates based on car or motorcycle model and charger type
• The ability to set charging goals at 80% or 100%, or even choose a custom goal
• An estimated range in miles or kilometers, providing insight into your vehicle's potential travel distance
Not only does Kilowatt support all charger types, but it is also compatible with over 300 electric car and motorcycle models. This ensures that the app caters to a wide range of electric vehicle users, both experienced and new to the world of eco-friendly transportation.
One of the key features of Kilowatt is its ability to notify users when their charging goal has been reached. Additionally, the app's time estimates take into account the battery charge profile of the selected car, if available. For vehicles without a custom profile, Kilowatt uses an average charge profile to provide users with accurate estimates.
Kilowatt also offers a dark mode feature, ensuring a comfortable user experience in various lighting conditions. Moreover, the app prioritizes user privacy by not collecting any personal data and displaying no ads; all information is securely stored on your device.
Ideal for current electric car owners or those contemplating a purchase, Kilowatt is an invaluable tool for understanding the charging time of your preferred model in different situations. It is the ultimate app for managing your electric vehicle's charging needs, providing you with peace of mind and the freedom to fully enjoy the benefits of sustainable transportation.

Ratings and Reviews
The most useful EV app
I frequently use this convenient app. Since I rely on public charging, it’s invaluable to quickly determine whether it's worth the hassle of driving a little farther for a cheaper charge and calculate the difference in cost. My one request is to be able to change the start time. This would be useful as many of the charges near me have cheap overnight rates, and being able to see what the Soc is at the end of that cheaper time would be useful.
Great simple to use tool
This app really helps when needing to balance between a rapid charge and a slow AC charge.
I have used when at the office and I need a full battery to travel in 6hrs , but the AC 7kW units wouldn’t do it in time , this help tell me what rapid charge I need to inject first to allow the cheaper 7kW to achieve 100% before I leave

Thanks for the solid review, glad to hear the app could help you out!
Times are a little off.
I’m still finding that your app tells me a charge from 18% to 82% would take 3h42 yet in reality it takes 3hr13. It says a 7.4kwh charger will charge at 6.6kwh, but mine must be charging quicker. Settings are a little all over the place. Nice looking app but I just can’t use it until it reflects the correct charge time/rate. My car is a Nissan Leaf 2nd gen 2021. I just wish there was an option to change the charge rate so that I could tweak it to the correct rate.

Hi Andy, those are some great feature suggestions. Showing the current estimated percentage is something on my todo so hopefully I will be able to add that soon.
As for your question; yes you could try adding a custom charger for a slightly higher speed. That might get you a more exact estimate. Sadly it's impossible to be correct for every situation there are just too many factors at play. The current weather, the state of the battery, whether you drove fast before charging or not are all things that might influence the actual charging time. So the estimate is meant as an average that will still be helpful in most situations I hope!
