  4. In the top bar, switch from Combustion Engine to Electric.

  5. Select a vehicle type.

  6. Tap Confirm.

  7. Set your vehicle parameters, such as model, battery details, and charging preferences, or skip this step for now.

Change the fuel type in an existing profile

Starting with iOS version 26.2, EV Mode can also be enabled directly in an existing vehicle profile, without creating a new one.

  1. Open the Sygic Menu.

  2. Tap Vehicle Profile.

  3. Open your current vehicle profile.

  4. Go to Fuel type.

  5. Select Electric.

  6. Tap Save.

Your current profile will be automatically converted into an electric vehicle profile. You can then select an EV model and adjust EV-specific parameters such as battery capacity, consumption, and connectors.

Can I switch between EV and non-EV vehicle profiles?

Yes. You can switch between different vehicle profiles at any time.

Will enabling EV Mode affect my other vehicle profiles?
