How to Use Electrify America with Apple CarPlay!

Recently, Electrify America added Apple CarPlay support to their App. I will demonstrate how to initiate the charge at EA chargers exclusively using Apple CarPlay.

very helpful. ID love to also see a vid of using carplay for navigating trips. you're right, the VW nav is kinda sub par. you can't even see a list of all the stops you'll be making on the route

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Longer videos definitely ❤😊

[@jackwilson2304]

Brevity is the soul of EV videos.👌

[@haroldmyers]

The shorter videos that demonstrate a specific feature are very helpful. It is nice to be able to search KZbin to find an appropriate video. In this case I searched for: electrify america app carplay

[@caterpro]

I like the shorter videos but at times a longer video is appropriate

[@robertpolestar-em4je]

Shorter videos 👍 Thank youn for the info. I learned something new.

[@larrybehrendt4256]

Agreed, the CatPlay integration is a huge upgrade. I’ve tried it on our road trip this week from Seattle to Los Angeles, about 10 charging sessions, and it worked 8 times I think. One time it failed (I think) because I took my iPhone out of the car to record what I was doing. I now leave my phone in the car until charging commences. The other time it failed on a charger that not even EA customer service could get started. I find that sometimes when I use EA to initiate navigation to the charging station, it takes a bit of fiddling to get the app to recognize that we’ve reached the station (so it should give me the option to pick a charger). But overall, agreed, a big step forward.

I like a mix. It’s fun to see road-trips if not hours long but also when things like this come up it’s cool to get an update as well. Nice that they did it but man everyone who does a video about not superchargers is a mad cap adventure if you’ll have one working or not.

[@MsKewi-NYC]

I like both styles of videos very interesting and informative. I like the new updates to the charging process very simple and straightforward.

[@ted101975]

Now with colder weather moving into Chicago I can't wait for your winter reviews

[@EVMotoring]

We will definitely have some including range tests!

[@lubomyrloukulynych8517]

Shorter is Better for demonstrations unless you are doing a road trip. Great Video. Gotta test it out with my Android App. Thanks!!! I wish a phone was not necessary to charge your car with Electrify America. Just plug in the vehicle and that's it.

[@wayne1559]

short and quick to the point please

[@PedroBrandaodrums]

Both styles is good for the videos. Keep it up the good work

[@ericcomer8750]

great video, i'm going from a Tesla to a ID4 for cost and family reasons and hoping this makes it all easier for id4's and all other EV's

[@Yanquetino]

Nice! So… ApplePlay automatically correlates with the EA app on your phone. Cool!

[@nancyfranz5103]

I like both so interesting Thanks 😊

[@mosessanchez7701]

Both styles of videos are great

[@Majorme2]

Your vids have gotten me up to speed ..we’ll get our ID4 next month..we be ready

[@LJLion]

Kudos to EA, this is a great use of apple car play and android auto since lots of people use either apple pay or Google pay to buy things online. This is awesome!!!

[@Majorme2]

I like both ..you two are a hoot….

[@zastozato3096]

Like it! Thanks for the video!!!

[@NatePlaysGames84]

Wow that is so cool! So easy! I love itt!!

[@hbnhacthinhphongpiano5217]

Good job!

[@paulk235]

Hey JK: Really appreciate this video and the new functionality that your sharing regarding AirCarPlay, EA charging and the ID4. I've had an eGolf for two years and am looking to purchase an ID4. Unfortunately, I have too many friends that like to slag the VW EVs in favour of Telsa. I do like Tesla but, would like to continue with a VW. Thanks again for your video. Cheers, Paul K

[@mowcowbell]

I do appreciate the extra charging detail that is now displaying on the Electrify America charging screen.

[@EVMotoring]

Me too! I understand it may confuse some people, but I always believe more info is better than less

[@mowcowbell]

@@EVMotoring They should add a 'More Detail' button on the charge screen so that those of us that love detail can get it, and others can just get the basics.

[@EVMotoring]

@@mowcowbell that’s a really great idea!

[@Jacklangefeld]

That is so cool!

[@toddh4491]

I have one on order and I really appreciate your shorter vidoes.

[@TassieEV]

I like the longer road trip videos but the shorter videos like this covering a single topic or maybe the charging or battery degradation for example. It depends on what my mood is that day really. Well EA maybe the fine money from VW they would have given the government but I don't believe it's VW employees running the network only the money from them.

[@angelcardona4027]

I like the long video

[@jow.6605]

Thanks for this video. How do I get the Electrify America app on my ID.4 screen?

[@EVMotoring]

I use Apple CarPlay

[@kathanzia]

Will this work for a MB EQS vehicle?

[@EVMotoring]

Yes it should. I just used Apple CarPlay on the EQS a couple weeks ago but didn’t try to initiate charging with the app

[@jrcase7511]

Longer road trips!

[@peterwright837]

I wish the EA app with Apple CarPlay would show the charging speed in kW or replicate what shows on the charger screen instead of sitting there blank while charging is in progress. Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

[@EVMotoring]

I agree there is room for improvement. I also wish the car showed that too instead of miles per minute. 🤞🏻

[@robertpolestar-em4je]

By the way, 62F is NOT cold. People in the South, in the Summer, would kill for 62F

[@Thulebeez]

Now this is how EV charging should be seamless.

[@jeffs.9299]

Watching 8 months later and EA Maintenance is still nonexistent in California 50% of these chargers are off not available malfunctioning or just plain crap

[@dearbulls]

Are you going to make one for Android? Thanks.

[@EVMotoring]

I don’t have an android, however, RegularEVDad did one kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4KVhHekmqqcnas

[@dearbulls]

@@EVMotoring Thanks. I just couldn't understand his accent somehow. It's not like British nor American. A bit hard for a English as Second Language person to learn.

[@jonathanengle2692]

[@ccfazio1]

Does this work with Android Auto yet?

[@EVMotoring]

Yes, this does. RegularEVDad did a similar video for Android

[@ccfazio1]

@@EVMotoring thanks.

[@MissleT0E]

This is just a sad day in America…

[@ccfazio1]

Like your shorter videos better.
