Common questions
- Do I need an OBD reader?
- No — you can log trips by typing three numbers from your dashboard at
the start and end. A Bluetooth OBD-II reader (about $50; we test with the
Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+) makes logging near-automatic: the app reads battery,
fuel and odometer itself and prompts you at ignition on and off.
- Where is the OBD port in my car?
- Look up under the dash above the pedals, around the steering column —
the socket faces the floor. It's a 16-pin trapezoid about the size of a
matchbox; some cars hide it behind a small flip-down cover. The reader
stays plugged in permanently.
- Can the reader damage my car or change settings?
- The app only asks the standard read-only questions a mechanic's scan
tool asks. It cannot alter settings, clear codes, or modify your car.
- Where is my data stored?
- On your phone, full stop. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics. See the
privacy policy.
- My car isn't in the vehicle list.
- The list updates over the air, so new PHEVs appear without an app
update. Meanwhile, enter your battery (usable kWh) and tank size from the
owner's manual — the app labels unverified specs honestly until they're
confirmed. Email us your make and model and we'll add it to the database.
- Something doesn't match my dash.
- That's exactly what we want to hear about. In the app: Settings →
Diagnostics → Send diagnostic report. Reports mask your locations by
default and you see the contents before sending.
