Hi all,

I'm the developer of PlugLog (https://pluglog.app), an app I'm building for EVs running Android Automotive / Google built-in.

It syncs live vehicle data so you can log and review charging and driving. Before a wider release I need real-world testers across different makes and models because some support live data and some don't, but can be worked around by using other data.

I know, yet another EV drive tracking app. Most trackers pull data through a phone, a plug-in dongle, or a third-party account link, which can mean delays, gaps, or handing your login to another service. PlugLog runs natively on the car's Android Automotive system, so it reads data directly from the vehicle in real time. No extra hardware and no middleman. That's also why I need testers: every automaker exposes its Android Automotive data a little differently.

What's involved:

1. Create a free account and request beta access from the dashboard

2. I add your Gmail to the Play Store testing group (this is how Google handles closed testing)

3. You install the app on your car and use it normally, then share any bugs or feedback

It's free, and there's nothing to buy.

I'm mainly hoping to catch issues on vehicles I don't have access to. Real-time efficiency has some work still needed.

If you're interested, reply here or DM me and I'll send deets. Happy to answer questions about what data the app reads and how it's handled. Looking to add more privacy controls, too (like opting out of location tracking, being able to delete your account permanently, etc).

Your data is not shared with, or sold to, anyone but you, nor will it ever be. PERIOD. The plan is also to offer an option to store the data points on your own infrastructure, but that's not ready yet.

Here are some screenshots of the Android Automotive app.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you!

Took advantage of the buy 3 get 1 tire deal at my local dealer. Shocked how there is no rub and not a huge difference in road noise.

I pulled into a flying J at about 10% soc. Started at 300KW and as soon as the battery temp hit 114 it started de rating. Now sitting at 120f battery and 74KW charge rate with the battery at 50%. As I type this it has climbed to 106KW at 54%.

Battery was about 95f when I started charging. Haven’t figured out the internal maps to navigate so it auto conditions, working on that now. But on a previous stop I couldn’t get it to condition below like 92f with the manual pre conditioning.

Ac compressor doesn’t seem to be anywhere full blast. I have added a bit of fluid to the reservoir under the hood by the windshield washer fluid in the past. Still full as of today.

I was installing new floor mats in my 2026 Elevation and noticed this blank "VIN holder" on the floor of the front passenger foot well.

I'm curious what others have populated there, is it a metal / plastic tag with the VIN printed on it?

CR updated their tire rankings this month and the Hankook Dynapro HT2 and Kumho Road Venture HT were the top 2 for all
Season and Toyo Open Country A/T was the top all terrain that work on a Silverado EV. Kind of weird no Michelin. The Hankook and Kumho had great rolling resistance. It had been a while since they updated. This was for the 18’ wheels
