Planning a long EV drive
The single biggest mistake on a first long EV drive is treating the claimed range as a budget. Highway speeds, air conditioning and a loaded boot all eat into it, and the last 10% of a battery is a reserve, not range you should plan to use. This planner keeps a buffer back for exactly that reason.
Two stops to 80% almost always beat one stop to 100%. DC charging tapers hard above 80%, so the time you spend waiting for the last fifth of the battery is time you could have spent driving. Plan shorter, more frequent stops and the total journey gets quicker.
Finally, note the backup at every stop. Nothing in India's national register carries live plug status, so the charger you planned around may be occupied, or out of service, when you arrive. Knowing the next one before you need it is the difference between a coffee break and a problem.
Route planning — your questions answered
How does the route planner choose stops?
It takes every charging location in the national register that sits within a band either side of the line between your start and destination, works out how far along the drive each one is, then walks the route: from your starting charge it takes the furthest charger you can still reach with a reserve left in the battery, assumes you charge to 80%, and repeats until you arrive. DC fast chargers are preferred because a long drive is not the place for a 3 kW socket.
Are these real driving distances?
No, and the planner says so throughout. Distances are straight-line between points, because there is no free road-routing service we can responsibly call on your behalf. Real road distance on an Indian highway typically runs 15–30% longer than the straight line, so treat every leg as the optimistic case and keep a margin.
Why does it plan to 80% and not 100%?
Because DC charging slows sharply past 80% — the last fifth of the battery can take as long as the first three. On a long drive you cover more ground stopping twice to 80% than once to 100%. If you want the full charge, add the extra time at your final stop.
Does it know whether a charger is working right now?
No. The national register publishes locations, connectors and power ratings, not live status. That is exactly why the planner surfaces a backup location near every stop: if the first one is occupied or out of service, you have somewhere to go that does not cost you the whole leg.
