Check Fuel, Mileage and EV Charge from Your Phone
For the household with a gas car in the driveway and an EV on the charger, CarConnect puts both on one screen: fuel level and remaining range, state of charge and EV range, odometer, and a tap to start or stop EV charging.
Fuel level and range without walking to the garage
Open the app and your car reports its current fuel level, the range it calculates from that fuel, and its odometer reading. It is read from the factory telematics module your car was built with, through Smartcar, the connected-car platform.
This answers the questions that otherwise cost you a trip outside in the cold. Before a 300 mile drive, you know on Sunday night whether you are leaving with a full tank or stopping ten minutes into the trip. When gas is cheaper at the station you pass on the way to work, you can check from the couch whether you have enough to make it there in the morning instead of filling up tonight. When you reach the car on a dark morning, you already know what is in the tank.
Alongside fuel, CarConnect reads engine oil life and tire pressure, so the pre-trip check that used to mean a flashlight and a gauge is a glance at your phone.
EV state of charge, range, and charging you control from the app
For electric vehicles, CarConnect shows state of charge as a percentage and the estimated range at that charge. You can also start or stop charging from the app, and the command runs only when you tap it.
The scenario this solves first is the one every EV owner knows: you plugged in at 11pm, the handle clicked, and you went to bed. Instead of getting dressed and going back to the garage, you open the app and read the state of charge. Tap start and the session runs from wherever you are, then read the percentage again before you leave in the morning.
Starting and stopping a charge from the app is also how you use cheap overnight rates without setting an alarm: plug in when you get home, and start the session when the off-peak window opens. If you need the car sooner than planned, stop the charge from wherever you are and leave with what is in the battery.
One app for the gas car and the electric one
Most households are mixed. A commuter EV and a family SUV, or a partner's hybrid and a teenager's older sedan, usually mean two manufacturer apps with two logins and two different layouts. CarConnect lists every linked vehicle together, each showing the fuel or charge figure that applies to it, so you check both in one place.
CarConnect supports 46 car makes, covering roughly model year 2010 onward, so a Ford in the driveway, a Tesla on the charger and a Hyundai at the curb all sit in the same list. Each vehicle keeps its own status card with fuel or charge, range, odometer and lock state.
Mileage you can actually watch
The odometer reading comes through with every refresh, which turns mileage from something you discover at a service appointment into something you track. On a 12,000 mile a year lease, you can see in March whether you are running ahead of pace, while there is still time to change how you drive.
The same reading tells you when the next service is due, and engine oil life is reported as its own figure. CarConnect also shows service history from the carmaker's records, so what has been done and the mileage since sit together on one card.
Checking a car someone else is driving
When your kid takes the car to campus for the weekend, or a parent borrows it for a long trip, the fuel level and odometer tell you what you want to know without a phone call: that they have enough gas to get home, and how far the car has gone. Family members who share a vehicle can each see the current state instead of texting to ask.
It works the same when you hand the EV to a visiting relative. You can see the charge they are leaving with, and start a charging session before they head back so the battery is where it needs to be.
How CarConnect reads your car, with nothing plugged in
There is no dongle, no adapter and no device in the OBD port. Your car already has a cellular modem and telematics module installed at the factory, the hardware that powers the manufacturer's own app. CarConnect reads that feed through Smartcar, the connected-car platform.
You sign in on your carmaker's own login page, never inside a CarConnect form. CarConnect receives an access token for that vehicle, revocable at any time, and never sees or stores your manufacturer password.

Good questions
Which app shows my car's fuel level remotely?
CarConnect reads fuel level, remaining range and odometer from your car's factory telematics module and shows them on your phone, across 46 car makes on iOS and Android. Tire pressure and engine oil life come through on the same screen.
Can I see my EV's battery percentage and range from my phone?
Yes. CarConnect shows state of charge as a percentage and the estimated range at that charge. It comes from the same factory telematics module that powers your carmaker's own app, read through Smartcar.
Can I start or stop charging my EV from the app?
Yes. Tap start to begin a charging session or stop to end one, from anywhere. Commands are sent only when you tap them, and they travel through the manufacturer's official connected services. The free in-app compatibility check shows exactly what your make, model and year supports.
Can I see a gas car and an electric car in the same app?
Yes. Every linked vehicle appears in one list, each with the reading that fits it: fuel level and range for combustion cars, state of charge and range for EVs, with odometer and lock state for both. They do not need to be the same brand.
Do I need an OBD dongle to read fuel level and mileage?
No. Nothing is plugged into the car. CarConnect uses the cellular modem and telematics module your car was built with, connected through Smartcar, so there is no hardware to buy, install or charge.
How do I know what my exact car reports?
The free in-app compatibility check shows exactly what your make, model and year supports, with no account and no card required. CarConnect covers 46 car makes, roughly model year 2010 onward.
