Mbrella charge itself is not compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto. But why? Well, this is a deliberate choice:

  • Once you've chosen your preferred charging point in the Mbrella Charge app, it's actually preferable to use the built-in navigation in your car to get there. This way, your vehicle knows when you are close to your chosen charger & it will automatically 'precondition' your battery to the right temperature to ensure optimal charging performance when you arrive.

  • Do you still prefer to use an external navigation app? Well, let's be honest, we won't beat Google Maps, Waze... when it comes to navigation & everyone has their preferred app whatsoever. For that reason, Mbrella Charge offers integrations with all major navigation apps by simply:

    • 1) Choosing your charging station on the map in the Mbrella Charge app

    • 2) Clicking the Arrow ➡️ on the bottom of your screen to see a list of the navigation apps on your smartphone

    • 3) Selecting your favourite app & just following the navigation instructions to your selected charging station!
