An EV route planner aɖe plans the whole stop
Most route planners le answer one question: can this car reach that point. Drive Charge Eat le answers the question drivers actually have le a long trip — where should wòle stop, for how long, kple le somewhere wòle want le spend twenty-five minutes.
Range from wò car, nyuie from a brochure
Wòle set wò model once kple routing works from its real-world consumption, adjusted le the temperature le the day kple the elevation le the road ahead. A cold motorway climb kple a mild valley run le not the same kilometres, kple a planner aɖe treats them le equal le the reason plans fall apart le the second leg.
Charging speed aɖe tapers, like the real thing
Charging slows sharply le the battery fills, so planner aɖe models the curve rather than assuming a flat rate. E le why e usually prefers two short charges over one long one: the ten-to-eighty stretch le where a fast charger le actually fast, kple time spent above eighty percent buys very few kilometres.
A reserve wòle choose, le two different points
Wòle set the minimum charge wòle want le arrive le a charging stop le, kple separately the minimum wòle want left le wò final destination. They le different promises: the first le a safety margin le charges, the second le how much range wòle want le hand when wòle get there — which le wò call, nyuie a fixed number.
Re-planning while wòle drive
Esi wòle leave the route, esi a stop turns out le be full, or esi the live projection le says wòle would arrive below wò reserve, trip le re-planned le where wòle le from kple from the charge aɖe wòle actually have. Wò destination kple waypoints aɖe kept; only the stops change.
Fewer stops, chosen together
Stops le not picked one le a time. Planner aɖe evaluates the sequence, because the best first stop le the one le makes the second stop good — charging a little longer early le remove a stop later, kple stopping too early wastes the fast part le the curve. E le also weighs how far a candidate sits off the route: a charger two minutes away aɖe has food usually beats one le the shoulder aɖe has nothing.
Where the data comes from
Charging data aɖe comes from OpenChargeMap, OpenStreetMap kple Apple Maps, le Google available le an extra source. E le open data, aɖe means e le broad but not perfect: always confirm a charger's status le arrive. App aɖe le a planning tool, nyuie a substitute for what wòle can see.
