EVSteven EV Charging App
The free EV charging solution you didn’t know was possible.
A Few of Your Residents Want to Charge Their EVs.
You may have looked into the costly and complex options. Networked charging stations. Hardware installations. Long-term contracts with vendors who take a large cut of every session. The costs are real, the complexity is real, and the urgency — frankly — isn’t quite there yet, except for a few early adopters who need it now. Not everyone has an EV. That’s coming, but adoption will be gradual — and your solution should be too.
Why Spend $50,000+ on a Problem That’s Still Years Away?
A phased approach fits your budget and your risk tolerance. Start small, start simple, and scale up when the demand is actually there. Technology improves fast and costs drop as it scales — the solution you need in five years will be better and cheaper than anything available today. Don’t overbuy now.
Your Building Probably Already Has What It Needs.
A standard 20-amp outlet can add 60 miles or 100 km of range overnight. Most EV drivers don’t need more than that, and public fast charging can fill any gaps. A simple, inexpensive Level 2 station — no network connection, no contract, no monthly fees — can fully charge a large battery in a few hours. The infrastructure is already there, or nearly there for the growing minority who need it now. What was missing was a simple and inexpensive way to track usage and reimburse your building.
EVnSteven Is That Missing Piece.
It’s a check-in, check-out app. Residents open it when they start charging and close it when they’re done. The app estimates energy consumption based on time and the station’s power level — accurate enough to bill reliably, without a single piece of additional hardware. Your EV problem, solved for almost nothing.
Set Up in an Afternoon. No Installer Required — Just an App.
Once your outlets or stations are electrically certified for EV charging, the rest is DIY. Add your stations in the app, print the signage, set your rates, and share your terms of service. Your residents download the app and they’re ready to charge. You choose how they pay — cash, e-transfer, or folded into the monthly strata or condo fee. The app generates an itemized monthly statement for every driver so the numbers are always clear.
Free for Your Building. About $0.10 Per Session for Drivers.
Property owners and managers pay nothing. EV drivers pay a small token fee — roughly ten cents per charging session — to cover the platform. No revenue share. No payment processing fees. No surprises at the end of the month. It’s a miracle of math and scale that we can offer this for free to buildings and still cover our costs, but that’s how we do it.
Designed for Buildings Where Neighbours Act Like Adults.
EVnSteven works because your community does. It’s built for apartments, condos, HOAs, and strata buildings where residents already have a basic level of trust and accountability. If someone abuses the system, you remove their access or handle it through your existing bylaws. The app gives you the data — you stay in control.
EVnSteven Started in a condo on Vancouver Island.
With a Google spreadsheet and a problem nobody had bothered to look at clearly. Read the full story to find out how a strata council’s bylaw mistake, an entrepreneur, and a young software engineer 17,000 km away built something better.
