Just got an email from Acura. They are dropping the EV App and replacing it with the existing AcuraLink app, starting early next month:

We’re writing to share an update about the mobile app experience for your Acura ZDX.

Starting June 3, 2026, you can use the AcuraLink® app with your ZDX. To avoid any interruption, please switch to AcuraLink® app by August 3, 2026. After that date, the Acura EV app will no longer be available for ZDX.

The following features will continue to be available in AcuraLink® app:

• AcuraLink connected by OnStar services
• Charging features and charging stations
• EVgo charge credit: your EVgo charging access stays the same, and any credits remain in your EVgo account. You’ll view and access those credits in AcuraLink® app instead of the Acura EV app.

In AcuraLink® app, you’ll also have access to:

• Roadside Assistance: request help 24/7 and track your request
• Send Destination to Vehicle: search and send a location to your vehicle’s navigation system
• Schedule Service: find a nearby Acura dealer and book a service appointment (online scheduling varies by dealer)

Key dates

• June 3, 2026: AcuraLink® app becomes available for ZDX
• June 3–August 2, 2026: You can use either app
• August 3, 2026: The Acura EV app will no longer work with ZDX
• Your vehicle’s operation, drivability, and safety systems are not affected
• Any active AcuraLink connected by OnStar services continue in AcuraLink® app as originally provided

Next Steps
Download the AcuraLink® app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, then sign in with your existing Acura credentials to keep using your connected features with your vehicle. [Apple App Store] [Google Play store]
Thank you for being a valued Acura client.

 

Always been a head scratcher why only Acura needed a separate app for EV. Fingers crossed this move means better user experience, but of course I am not getting my hope up!

 

I've always suspected that the "EV" app came from GM, perhaps because it was a quicker solution at the time of launch. I too am not hopeful for any improvement, but I must admit that the AcuraLink app has performed more consistently, at least as far as connecting to the vehicle. I am a happy user of the logue app for my ZDX, giving me a much better user experience!

On the Android Play Store the Acura EV app has a rating of 1.5 and the Acura Link a rating of 1.7 out 5. So I guess there is some hope for a slightly better experience. If it just can tell the percentage left, turn the heater/AC on and beep to find the car then I will already be a lot happier. Right now the app is useless as it can't connect to the car. After several weeks Acura fixed it a while ago and it worked, but just once and then back to not connecting.
