Point your phone at the charger screen.
Don't understand the error code? Can't read the screen? Not sure what the charger is asking you to do? Just scan it.
The problem
Every EV driver has been there. You plug in. The charger screen shows something you don't understand. An error code. A menu in another language. A status message that could mean anything.
You Google it. Nothing useful. You call the network's support line. Ten minutes on hold. Meanwhile your car isn't charging and you need to be somewhere.
This happens millions of times a day at public chargers around the world. Every charger brand has different screens. Every error code means something different. And nobody has a quick way to understand what they're looking at.
What we're building
A scanner built into the free EVcourse app. Point your phone at the charger screen. The app reads the text, figures out what it means, and tells you what to do next.
Any charger brand. Any language. Error codes, payment screens, status messages, warnings. If it's on a charger screen, the scanner can read it.
No more Googling error codes. No more support calls for things you could fix in 30 seconds. No more standing at the charger confused.
How it works
Point
Open the app and point your camera at the charger screen.
Read
The app reads the text on the screen and matches it to our database.
Fix
You get a plain-language explanation and step-by-step instructions.
Private by design
Your photos never leave your phone. Text recognition runs entirely on your device. Only the extracted text is sent to our servers for matching. No images are uploaded or stored. Ever.
You can use the app without the scanner. Camera permission can be revoked at any time. Step-by-step troubleshooting guides are available without the scanner.

Why this matters
Public EV charging has a usability problem. Chargers are built by engineers for engineers. The screens assume you know what CCS2 means, what a pilot fault is, why authorization timed out. Most drivers don't.
There are dozens of apps that help you find a charger. None of them help you understand what's on the screen when you get there.
The scanner closes that gap. It turns every confusing charger screen into a 5-second fix.
