New · PlugCam

Your car's cameras,
on the big screen

PlugCam is our video app for cars with Google built-in. Every drive and every camera on your vehicle's screen when you're parked, your speed and power in step with the footage, and the clips backed up to PlugLog on their own. Brake hard and it saves every camera around the moment, ready to share as an incident report. PlugCam storage is $39 a year per 50 GB, shared by all your vehicles, no Pro needed.

  • Every camera, by drive
  • Speed & power on each clip
  • Hard stops saved & shareable
  • Backed up on its own
  • Kept until you say

Every drive, every camera

Your latest drive is up top, one tap from playing. Each camera's clips are sorted into drives and days, and filtered by camera or by the places you've tagged.

Your speed and power, in step

Watch any clip with your speed and the battery's power over it, and the drive's power graph under it: orange when you're speeding up, green when regen slows you down.

Driving an EV with Google built-in? PlugLog is a navigation app for your car's screen: Google's map and turn-by-turn, charging stops planned for your car, and your speed, battery and efficiency always in view. Every drive and charge is still recorded on its own and synced to your account. Nothing to type at the charger.

Common questions about
PlugLog

Quick answers about logging, efficiency math, and your data.

Is PlugLog free?

Tracking your drives and charges with the car app (on cars with Android Automotive) is free, with full history, efficiency, range and costs, for up to 2 vehicles. PlugLog Pro is $59 a year and adds the Route Planner (road trips planned on the web with charging stops that fit your car, then picked in the car), the reports (mileage, reimbursement and battery health), any number of vehicles and API access. PlugCam storage, for backing up your car's cameras, is $39 a year per 50 GB, and Teslas, recorded straight from your Tesla account, are $59 a year each: neither needs Pro. New accounts get Pro and 50 GB of PlugCam storage free for 30 days, and each account can try a Tesla free for 3 months, once.

Does it work with every EV?

You can add any all-electric vehicle in the EPA's catalog, from 1998 through this year's models, and log its drives and charges by hand. Drives and charges are recorded automatically on EVs with Android Automotive (Google built-in), using the PlugLog car app, and on Teslas, straight from your Tesla account with nothing to install in the car. On other EVs, the PlugLog app for Android records your drives through Android Auto.

How is efficiency calculated?

With the car app or a linked Tesla, it's each drive's distance divided by the energy the battery actually delivered, read from the car many times a minute, with regen subtracted. Through Android Auto, where the car only shares its battery level, it's worked out from how much the battery level dropped. If you only log charges by hand, PlugLog divides the miles since your previous charge by the energy that charge added, which also counts charging losses. Tap the ? beside any efficiency figure for the details.

Can I track more than one vehicle?

Yes. Free accounts can track up to 2 vehicles, and Pro has no limit. Each keeps its own history, efficiency trends and costs.

Can I export my data?

Anytime. Download every drive and charge as CSV from Settings → Data. Your data is yours. Pro also includes a read-only API for pulling it into your own tools.

Can I share a drive or charge?

Yes. Make any drive or charge public and it appears on your public profile, with a link to send. Turn on Share live from the car, the phone app or pluglog.app and anyone with your link can watch the drive or charge as it happens. Where you are stays private unless you choose to show it.
