Electric vehicle switch app in action

A free app that helps people explore the benefits of switching to an electric vehicle has launched.

Released by UK company EV8 Technologies, the EV8 Switch app uses space data to log motorists’ journeys and then displays how much money could be saved by swapping their conventional car for an electric one.

These estimates cover time frames selected by the driver and the app also provides information on the cost of buying or leasing an electric vehicle.  

The app was developed with the support of ESA’s Directorate of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications.
