How it works
Drive as usual. Test different EVs. See what works for you.
Track your real drives
Record the routes you already drive. EVSim follows your trip and uses it as the basis for the simulation.
Test different electric cars
Choose from multiple EV profiles and see how each vehicle would perform on the same real-world routes.
See what fits your life
After each drive, see estimated energy use, battery percentage used, range impact and driving efficiency.
Features
Built to answer one question.
Instead of relying only on advertised range figures, EVSim gives you a practical way to experience electric driving before you buy.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is EVSim, and is there an iPhone app to try an electric car before buying one?
Yes. EVSim is an iPhone app that lets you test electric cars on the drives you already take. It records your normal trips in your current car and shows how different EVs would have performed on the same routes, so you can see whether an electric car would fit your life before you decide. It is made by MARVAR and available on the App Store.
How does EVSim estimate range, battery use and charging?
EVSim uses the trips you record as the basis for the simulation. For each drive it shows estimated energy use, battery percentage used, range impact and driving efficiency for the electric car you choose, and how long it could take to replace the energy used. The estimates take your drives, the EV profile and current conditions into account, including weather. Cost comparisons use real fuel and electricity prices.
How accurate are EVSim’s results?
EVSim estimates range impact, battery use, energy consumption, charging needs, driving costs and savings from your driving patterns and current conditions. They are estimates, not guarantees, and real-world results vary.
Which electric cars can I compare in EVSim?
EVSim includes multiple EV profiles. You can replay one trip with different electric cars and compare which models fit your driving pattern. Browse the vehicle catalogue inside the app. Vehicle names and brands shown in EVSim belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify vehicles.
Is EVSim free?
Yes, EVSim is free to download from the App Store. It also offers one optional in-app purchase, EVSim Unlimited, shown at $2.99 on the US App Store. Prices vary by region and are always shown in the App Store before you buy; the App Store listing shows exactly what EVSim Unlimited includes.
What data does EVSim collect, and does it use my location?
EVSim follows the trips you record so it can use them for the simulation, so it needs access to your location while you record a drive. It also uses current weather and fuel and electricity prices for its estimates. How EVSim handles data is described on its privacy page.
Which iPhones and languages does EVSim support?
EVSim is an iPhone app and needs iOS 18.0 or later. The App Store listing shows English, Dutch, German, Hungarian and Russian.
Who makes EVSim, and where do I get help?
EVSim is made by MARVAR, an independent iOS app brand run by Valentin Varadi, a private individual developer. For help, visit the support page or email hello@marvar.eu.
