Charging status, out of the app and onto the lock screen

Charging progress now follows drivers to the lock screen and the Dynamic Island. Before, they had to open the app and read a bottom sheet.

Lock screenLive Activity updates on the lock screen

lockProgress where drivers look: the lock screen

A Live Activity puts the %, minutes to full charge and charging speed on the lock screen, updating as the session runs.
view_agendaOne card, every surface

The lock-screen card, the expanded island and the in-app sheet share one layout: % Charging, minutes to full, the purple bar, charging speed.
donut_largeGlanceable: % and ETA only

The compact island keeps just “EV Charging” and a % ring. Long-press for minutes to full and speed; it shrinks to a dot when another activity runs.
historyBefore: status hid inside the app

The charging sheet only existed while the app was open. Lock the phone and progress disappeared, so drivers kept unlocking to check.
