Scope
This statement applies to the web application EVSpend, available at www.evspend.com, including all subpages and the corresponding mobile presentation (Progressive Web App).
Conformance Level (Self-Assessment)
Based on internal review, this web application is broadly aligned with WCAG 2.1 Level AA (corresponding in substance to BITV 2.0 / EN 301 549). No external conformance audit or certification has been performed; individual deviations are possible and will be corrected once identified.
Semantic HTML, ARIA labels for interactive elements, and full keyboard operability are implemented. The additional measures for screen readers and contrast requirements are documented below.
Implemented Measures
According to our self-assessment, the known core functions are broadly oriented around the WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria. This is an internal review; no external audit or certification has taken place. Implemented measures include:
• Slider input fields with dynamically updated aria-valuetext information for screen readers
• Screen reader announcements via aria-live region when a slider is released
• Color contrast per WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum (normal text ≥ 4.5:1) — including the hero result values (EV / combustion) in light mode, which since the update of 28 April 2026 use dedicated text tokens (--ev-text #15803d, --orange-text #b45309) instead of the brand-accent shades
• UI elements per WCAG 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast (≥ 3:1)
• Historical chart with textual alternative: summary text as figcaption plus complete data table for screen reader table navigation
• Market-aware and language-aware text alternatives for all four supported markets (DE/EU/US/TR)
• Units and currency names spelled out in screen reader text (to avoid inconsistent symbol pronunciation)
The classification is based on internal review and has not been certified by an external accessibility auditor.
