⚙️ How Our EV Trip Planner Works
Enter Trip Details
Input your starting location, destination, vehicle model, current battery level, and minimum charge preference.
Route Calculation
Our system uses OpenStreetMap and OSRM routing engine to calculate the most efficient route between your locations.
Charging Analysis
Advanced algorithms analyze your vehicle's range, current charge, and route distance to determine optimal charging stops.
Station Discovery
Integration with Open Charge Map API identifies all available charging stations along your route with detailed specifications.
Optimization & Results
The system presents optimized charging stops with alternatives, cost estimates, and interactive map visualization.
🧮 Calculation Methodology
Range Calculation
Usable Range = Vehicle Range × (Current Charge% - Minimum Charge%) ÷ 100
This ensures you maintain your preferred safety buffer throughout the journey.
Charging Stop Determination
Stops are calculated when: Remaining Distance > Usable Range
Each stop assumes charging to 70% capacity for optimal time efficiency.
Charging Time Estimation
- Ultra-Fast (150kW+): 25-35 minutes
- Fast (100-149kW): 30-40 minutes
- Moderate (50-99kW): 35-50 minutes
- Standard (Below 50kW): 45-60 minutes
Cost Calculation Formula
Total Cost = (Energy Consumed × Rate per kWh) + Service Charges
Rates vary by operator: Tata Power (₹15-18/kWh), Adani (₹16-20/kWh), Shell (₹20-25/kWh)
📝 Input Fields Guide
🏁 Starting Location
Enter your departure city or address. Use autocomplete suggestions for accurate geocoding. Examples: "Mumbai, Maharashtra" or "Connaught Place, New Delhi"
🎯 Destination
Your target location or city. The system supports all major Indian cities and towns with detailed address recognition.
🔋 Vehicle Range
Select your EV model from the dropdown or enter custom range. Pre-configured options include popular Indian EVs with ARAI-certified ranges.
⚡ Current Battery Level
Your vehicle's current state of charge (10-100%). This determines your initial available range for the journey.
🔋 Minimum Charge Level
Safety buffer percentage (10-50%). The system ensures you never drop below this level, typically 20% for safety.
🔄 Trip Type
Choose between one-way or round-trip. Round-trip doubles the distance and optimizes charging for the return journey.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the charging station locations?
Our data is sourced from Open Charge Map, which provides real-time information from verified charging networks across India. However, we recommend calling ahead for critical journeys as station availability can change.
Does the tool work for all electric vehicles?
Yes! While we have pre-configured settings for popular Indian EVs like Tata Nexon EV, MG ZS EV, and Hyundai Kona, you can enter custom range values for any electric vehicle.
Are the charging costs accurate?
Cost estimates are based on current operator rates and power levels. Actual costs may vary due to promotional offers, membership discounts, or rate changes. Always check with the charging operator for exact pricing.
Can I plan trips to remote areas?
The tool works best for routes with established charging infrastructure. For remote areas with limited charging options, we recommend carrying portable chargers and planning shorter segments.
How often is the charging station data updated?
Our system pulls real-time data from Open Charge Map API, which is continuously updated by charging network operators and the EV community. Station information is refreshed with each search.
What if a recommended charging station is not working?
We provide multiple alternatives for each charging stop. If your primary choice is unavailable, simply use one of the alternative stations listed. Always have a backup plan for long journeys.
Does the tool consider traffic and road conditions?
The route calculation uses OpenStreetMap data for optimal pathfinding. While it doesn't include real-time traffic, it considers road types and typical travel patterns for accurate time estimates.
Can I save my trip plans?
Currently, the tool provides instant planning without requiring registration. You can bookmark the page with your results or take screenshots of your trip plan for reference.
