EV Route Planner
An EV route planner is an app or navigation function that plans long trips with charging stops based on the car, battery and chargers.
What is EV Route Planner?
Many built-in navigation systems plan charging stops automatically. Third-party apps can include live charger availability. Good planners also precondition the battery before fast charging. Planning slightly lower speeds can cut charging stops on long trips.
How it works
It models energy use from speed, elevation and weather and chooses charging stops to minimise travel time.
Why it matters for your car
Estimates can be off in strong wind, rain or cold. Have a backup charger in mind for each stop.
