Vehicle intelligence · iPhone

Identify any car. Understand what’s inside.

Point your camera at a vehicle and EV Lens names the make, model and generation, classifies its powertrain, and opens the technical story behind it — tuned to the market you’re standing in.

How it works

Three steps from a glance to the full picture

EV Lens pairs a fast on-device detector with a cloud recognizer, so the heavy identification happens the moment you frame the car.

01 · Point

Frame the vehicle

An on-device model locates the car in the viewfinder and hands a clean, cropped frame to recognition — no continuous video leaves your phone.

02 · Identify

Make, model, powertrain

Recognition returns the make, model and generation, then tags the powertrain — combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or battery-electric — with a badge you see instantly.

03 · Understand

The technical profile

Open specifications tuned to your current market — price, range, consumption, battery or engine detail, component origins, and modelled lifecycle CO₂.

What you get

A vehicle intelligence tool, not just a car scanner

Every recognised vehicle opens into layered, source-aware detail — built for the curious owner and the working professional alike.

Local-market specs

Pricing, power, range, consumption and homologation figures resolved to the country you’re in — WLTP, EPA and CLTC kept distinct, never blended.

Battery & charging

For EVs: battery chemistry and capacity, motor and inverter layout, and charging behaviour — the parts that actually decide how a car lives with you.

Engine & hybrid systems

For combustion and hybrids: engine code, displacement, aspiration, hybrid topology and electric-motor detail, with power and torque figures.

Component origins

Where the engine, motor, battery and vehicle itself are assembled — each claim carried with its source and a confidence level, not stated as gospel.

Lifecycle CO₂

Compare cumulative lifecycle CO₂e and estimate the distance after which a reference EV comes out ahead — presented as a model, with its range and assumptions.

Garage & Top 3

Save vehicles to your Garage, compare them side by side, and get a personalised Top 3 recommendation tuned to what you actually care about.

Recognition taxonomy

Every car, placed on the powertrain map

EV Lens started with electric vehicles and now reads the whole passenger-car landscape. The moment a vehicle is recognised, it’s tagged — so you know what you’re looking at before you read a single number.

Built to respect you

Your camera stays yours

EV Lens processes live frames on your device and only sends a selected, cropped vehicle image for recognition — never a continuous video feed. Location is used while in use to resolve your market, and the app works with your country code, not raw coordinates. Read the full Privacy Policy.
