Planning an electric car road trip is easier than you think with ChargeHub’s EV Trip Planner! The EV trip planner helps you locate reliable charging stations along the road to ensure a seamless charging experience. Whether heading out for a weekend escape or embarking on a longer adventure, you can focus on the journey, not the charging.

 

Why You Need an EV Trip Planner

planning electric car trip

Unlike gas-powered cars, EVs depend on charging infrastructure that can vary in availability, speed and reliability. Here’s why ChargeHub’s EV trip planner is essential:

🛣️ Optimized routes: Find the most efficient path with strategically placed charging stops. When creating your trip, avoid unnecessary detours. Use the sliding tool to adjust the distance for charging stations from your route.

🔋Real-time station availability: Avoid showing up to a charging station only to find it occupied or out of service. Additionally, review user comments to inform your decisions. Learn more about this feature and check the availability of charging stations.

📍Custom planning: Find the right charging station for your needs by filtering by power level (Level 2 or DCFC), connector type, network, and amenities. You can also show only ports that can be activated (charge and pay) via ChargeHub.

Tips for EV Road Trips

1. Plan Your Charging 🔌

Even if you’re leaving with a full battery, planning your charging stops ahead of time is key. ChargeHub’s EV Trip Planner helps you find convenient charging stations along your itinerary so you won’t have to stress about running low on power.

2. Factor in Charging Time ⏱️

Charging your EV takes longer than filling up a gas tank, so be sure to factor in charging times during an electric car road trip. ChargeHub lets you plan your stops based on the charger's power, allowing you to choose fast chargers (level 3) for shorter stops or enjoy longer breaks at level 2 if needed.

3. Pack Essentials ⚡

Don't forget to pack key items for your trip, including your Level 1 (120 V) emergency charger and a CCS adapter if you’re driving a Tesla and plan to use non-Tesla public charging networks. Be sure to bring everything you need to make those charging stops more enjoyable.
