EV features removed from app
As of this posting, 8:15 PM EDT on 5/14/2025, v7.8.0 is now available in the Apple App Store (listed as released "2 days ago", circa 5/12/2025). I've just now installed the app and I can verify that it is now showing electric range, along with gasoline range and total combined range, on the main summary screen for the vehicle. However, tapping "Vehicle Status" to view the status screen still does not include any EV information nor is there any way to access charging options. So, as of now, there is a slight improvement, but the issue remains unfixed.
And just to confirm something I asked about previously: the bug (or "design flaw", or "omission", or whatever you want to call it) exists in the following versions. I believe this is a complete list; if there is a point revision anyone is aware of that isn't on this list, please post a reply with the version number(s).
- 7.6.0 (*bug introduced)
- 7.6.1
- 7.7.0
- 7.8.0 (*partial improvement)
We'll keep our fingers crossed that the app developers are continuing to work on this issue. And to Helen and any of the other GM assistants that monitor this thread:
We'd all love to see a post from one of you when your development team officially and finally signifies the bug has been fixed. The release notes with each version never specify exactly which bugs are being fixed--we have no way of knowing whether or not any specific version is intended to fix this or any other known problem. Thanks!
Excellent info. I have and plan to continue calking OnStar to get discounts or free month credits until the EV Charging status and controls are returned to the app, as it is not worth paying the full monthly fee without those features. I encourage others to do the same to apply gentle pressure to get these features back.
