EV Route Planner with Charging Stops

Plan a road trip in any electric vehicle and see exactly where you'll need to stop to charge, how long each stop takes, and what charge you'll arrive with — worked out from your specific car's real usable battery capacity and efficiency, not a generic estimate. It works the same way for a Tesla, a Hyundai, a Volkswagen, a BMW or a Nissan: pick your vehicle, set your starting charge, and the planner does the rest across public chargers from every network along your route.

How the planner picks your charging stops

The planner starts from your car's usable battery capacity and real-world efficiency (adjustable for degradation), your starting charge, and your route, then works out where you'd run low and looks for a suitable charger nearby — favouring higher-power DC chargers for road trips over slower AC points, and factoring in each charger's rated power to estimate how long you'll actually need to plug in. It draws on public charger location and power data covering every major network, not just one manufacturer's own charging network, so the same trip plan works whichever EV you're driving.

Balancing trip time against number of stops

Longer trips often have more than one reasonable way to get there — a slightly longer route past a faster charger, or a more direct route with an extra stop at a slower one. The planner surfaces alternative routes so you can weigh total trip time against the number and length of charging stops yourself, rather than being locked into a single "optimal" answer that might not match how you'd actually prefer to travel. If your itinerary or starting charge changes mid-trip, you can re-plan from wherever you are without starting over.

Route planner FAQs

Does the route planner work for any EV brand, not just Tesla?
Yes — pick your make and model from the vehicle selector and the planner uses that car's own usable battery capacity and real-world efficiency to work out range and charging stops, whether that's a Tesla, a Hyundai, a Ford, a BMW or any other supported EV. It isn't a Tesla-only or Supercharger-only tool; charging stops are drawn from public charger data covering every network.
Does the planner account for my car's actual battery degradation?
Yes — you can enter an estimated degradation percentage (from the battery health calculator, or your own figure) and the planner will size your range and charging stops around your battery's real usable capacity today, not the factory-fresh figure. This matters most on longer trips, where a few percent of degradation can be the difference between comfortably making a stop and cutting it close.
How accurate are the charging stop estimates?
The planner combines your car's efficiency, current charge, and each charger's rated power to estimate arrival charge and stop duration — accurate enough for realistic trip planning, though real-world charging speed can vary with battery temperature, charger condition, and how busy a site is. For time-critical trips, treat the estimates as a strong planning guide and build in a little buffer, the same way you would with any road trip.
Can I use the route planner on my phone?
Yes, it's fully responsive and works on mobile browsers as well as desktop — the layout adapts to a bottom-sheet style interface on smaller screens so the map stays the focus while trip details and charging stops stay within easy reach.
