Two ways to search

Offline when the scene is dark. Online when you need the source.

Offline catalog

Browse 500+ EVs with zero signal

The core catalog lives on the device. Scroll makes and models, or search “cut zones Model 3” in a dead zone, a parking garage, or out on a rural highway. Download extra guides ahead of time and they stay put.

Offline vehicle catalog
Online AI search

Ask in plain language, get the source

Speak naturally — “The Ioniq 5 is on fire, what do I do?” Answers are pulled straight from the manufacturer's official ERG and rescue sheets. Every result is source-linked, never generated.

Online sourced answer
What's inside

A reference tool that behaves like a tool, not a PDF.

Sourced answers

Straight from the manufacturer

Every answer links back to the official ERG page it came from. No hallucinations — just the source document, on screen.

Fully offline

Works where signal doesn't

The catalog is on the phone. Dead zones, basements, rural calls — the guidance is there the moment you need it.

Incident mode

Tuned for the scene

One tap to a high-visibility, low-distraction view built for night scenes, gloved hands, and adrenaline.

A catalog that never goes stale

In the field

Smart EV Guides

“Built on the line, not in a boardroom.”

Smart EV Guides was created by a working firefighter on Colorado's eastern corridor, out of a simple frustration: when an EV is involved, the answer shouldn't be buried in a 40-page PDF you can't open without signal. It's now used by hundreds of responders and sold to departments nationwide.

Have an idea for a tool first responders actually need? Reach out — that's how this one started.
