Why Use an Electric Vehicle Trip Planner?

Planning a journey in an electric vehicle requires more consideration than a traditional petrol car. Range limitations, charging infrastructure, and battery efficiency all play crucial roles in ensuring a smooth, stress-free trip. That's where dedicated EV route planning tools become essential.

Real-World Range Calculations

Unlike standard navigation apps, our electric vehicle trip planner understands the unique requirements of EV travel. We calculate your vehicle's real-world range based on factors like speed, temperature, and terrain—not just the manufacturer's optimistic estimates. This means you'll know exactly where to stop and for how long, eliminating the anxiety that can come with electric vehicle ownership.

Comprehensive Charging Network Coverage

Our database includes over 50,000 charging stations across the UK and Europe, with real-time availability updates from major networks including Tesla Supercharger, IONITY, BP Pulse, and Gridserve. We show you not just where chargers are located, but which ones are currently available, their charging speeds, and what amenities are nearby—so you can grab a coffee or stretch your legs while your vehicle charges.

Battery Efficiency and Longevity

Battery efficiency is at the heart of our route optimisation. We recommend charging between 20% and 80% capacity, where charging speeds are fastest and battery degradation is minimised. Our intelligent algorithm suggests optimal charging stops that balance journey time with battery health, helping you arrive refreshed and your EV in peak condition.

For New and Experienced EV Drivers
