The GreenCharge App Lets You Know How Many Trees You're Saving by Going Green

— February 14, 2012 — Eco
Those wary about buying an EV might want to take along the GreenCharge app on their next test drive. The GreenCharge app was designed by Xatori, the company known for its PlugShare electric car charging network. PlugShare's new app syncs with the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt to help you understand just how much money you're saving by going electric.

The GreenCharge app lets you track the charge of your EV's battery at a glance. It also tracks your mileage to let you see how much you would have spent driving a hybrid or a gas-powered car/SUV. The app is great for seeing the environmental impact made by gas vehicles as it displays how many pounds of CO2 you've kept out of the atmosphere in addition to how many trees you've saved. The GreenCharge app is available now for $9.99.
Trend Themes
1. Electrification Tracking Apps - Opportunity for creating apps that provide real-time tracking and information on EV battery charge, mileage, and environmental impact.
2. Green Transportation Awareness - Opportunity for tools and technologies that help consumers understand and quantify the environmental benefits of choosing electric vehicles over gas-powered cars.
3. Carbon Footprint Calculators - Opportunity for apps that calculate and display the amount of CO2 emissions reduced and the number of trees saved by adopting green transportation options.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - Opportunity for developers to create innovative tracking and awareness applications for electric vehicles that provide valuable insights to users.
2. Electric Vehicle Industry - Opportunity for companies in the electric vehicle industry to leverage apps as a means of educating and engaging consumers about the benefits of electric transportation.
3. Environmental Sustainability - Opportunity for organizations focused on carbon footprint reduction and sustainability to collaborate with app developers to create tools that promote green transportation choices.
