Using the EV Road Trip Planner
No more opening up 10 different websites or apps and figuring out which turn to take, or where your next charge is coming from. With a comprehensive set of EV-related stops and guidance built in, you access it all on our platform and plan your next road trip with ease. Here’s how to set up your road trip itinerary using our EV trip planner:
Enter your start and end points
Start your plan by setting the start and end points of the road trip so our trip planner can analyze the best routes available.
Select your vehicle
Select specific make/model of your rental. If you’ve booked a more general classification, use these placeholders:
- Intermediate Electric Elite use the Polestar 2
- Electric Small SUV use the Chevy Bolt EUV
- Electric Crossover SUV use the Kia EV6
- Electric Elite SUV use the Volvo C40
Set your % of charge
For your battery level, enter 80% into the EV Trip Planner. It will then adapt to your EV’s battery levels and help you find the appropriate charging stations to top up your EV at the right points.
Find activities around charging
Instead of “stopping for gas,” think about Destination Charging, where you plan charging around an already planned activity like a meal or hotel. Tap on an individual Charging Station and then tap the filters to find nearby amenities.
Plan Your EV Road Trip
While it’s possible to plan each separate part of your EV road trip yourself, using this all-in-one EV trip planner makes it so much easier. Having easy access to all the road trip data in one place can make your drive far more convenient in so many ways:
Explore and enjoy destinations without hours of mapping optimal charging points and shortcuts to save on driving range.
Less stress, more freedom. Organize your trip with ease, as all the info you need to get back on the road is readily available.
Our EV trip planner always guides you to the closest charging stations with estimates on both time and distance so you can focus on your adventure.
With a comfortable grip on available routes, you can be more confident exploring new areas and finding hidden gems along your trip.
