In this episode of EV Musings, Gary discusses the various apps that electric vehicle (EV) owners might need to manage their vehicles effectively.

The episode covers three main categories of apps: those specific to the vehicle, those related to charging infrastructure, and general apps that enhance the EV experience. Gary also touches on the importance of these apps, the convenience they offer, and the potential privacy concerns associated with them.

Additionally, the episode highlights the new Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 and how they impact the necessity of using apps for charging.
