How It Works
Caremiles app lets you measure and mitigate your climate impact by connecting to your car
The app calculates your vehicle’s impact by using heavily researched and widely used EPA standards, but we don’t want to show off our science skills here. Instead, we show that impact in terms of trees.
See how many trees you saved just by driving your Electric Vehicle around or how many trees you may consider planting to compensate for that awesome gas car.

In fact, for most makes and models the app connects with the vehicle's manufacturer for verified odometer data. The app works with all Electric Vehicles (EV) and ICE (Gas) passenger cars.

Who can use the Caremiles app?
Anyone who is 16 and above, has a car.
How much does it cost to use Caremiles app?
This app is completely free - no hidden fees or anything. Instead, you earn trees every time.
What kind of cars can I enroll?
The app currently supports passenger cars only, no bikes, buses or commercial trucks yet. To keep things simple, we only consider plug in electric vehicles as electric vehicles or EVs. All other cars are considered Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) or Gas vehicles.
Am I contributing to the community?
Caremiles app will help you do a great job of caring for the environment and community by measuring and mitigating your impact on climate.
How does a gas car impact on environment?
A typical gas car that drives around 10,000 miles each year produces over 800 pounds of carbon dioxide.
How can I measure my car’s contribution to the environment?
Simple - Caremiles app lets you measure and mitigate your climate impact by connecting to your car.
Is it better to switch to an Electric Vehicle (EV)?
But it's a lot more than that. It turns out cheaper for some people than owning a gas-powered one; plus, you might qualify for incentives through the government or private sector because of this action..
What is a car account?
'Car Account' is the log in you have with your car maker. You use it on their app or website. EVs, cannot be enrolled on the app without a car account.
How do you get my car data, is it safe?
Working with our partner smartcar; we read your car's data in an anonymous and secure manner. Smartcar is a trusted leader in the connected car space and SOC 2 compliant.
Unbeknownst to most drivers 1 in 3 vehicles on the road relay diagnostic data back to car makers as required by government regulation. This number is improving year on year.
While most EVs support verified diagnostic data. Not all ICE (Gas) cars are capable of transmitting this data. In case your ICE (Gas) car is not compatible or if we have trouble getting your car data. The app will fall back to manual odometer entry.
Further automation is on our roadmap. We truly believe technology should just work.
What car data do you read, and why?
The app has seperate embedded smartcar screens which handle 'Car Account' sign in and consent process within the app. Our systems rely on smart car to handle 'Car Account' log in. Smartcar is a trusted leader in the connected car space and SOC 2 compliant.
Upon user consent smartcar provides us with verified data points such as VIN, odometer, fuel tank etc so we can calculate your climate impact accurately.
For EVs, additional data points such as as battery level and location are needed to determine kWHs and source of electricity used in charging the car.
How much does it cost to plant a tree?
Trees earned are available for planting with a purchase price of $0.5 each - your contributions don't stop there. By planting these trees, your money will go towards helping nonprofit organization TREES.org's - they use it wisely to alleviate hunger, poverty, and deforestation; all without costing you anything extra!
Where and whom do you plant trees with?
We work with partners such as Trees.org to plant Garden Forests with farmers.
When you plant trees with farmers you aren’t just helping the planet. You’re immediately impacting lives of families in need.
