Route planning
Overview
Route planning lets users check the calculated route, choose between alternative routes, and make some adjustments if needed.
Route without stops
When the destination is within reach and does not require stopping to charge in order to reach it, up to two alternative routes are presented.
Users can edit their route by:
- Managing the stops: adding, removing, and reordering manually added stops using the manage stop icon at the top of the panel.
- Changing the route options: battery at arrival and avoid options using the route option icon at the top of the panel.
Route itinerary view
When the user plans a route with multiple stops, the route itinerary is shown. If the destination is out of reach, charging stops are added automatically.
Next to the route information, the number of electric vehicle (EV) charging stops and the duration of charging are shown in the panel.
The map shows the charging stops on the suggested route.
Users can edit their route by:
- Removing all proposed charging stops by changing the state of the Plan charging automatically toggle.
- Managing the stops: adding, removing, and reordering manually added stops using the manage stop icon at the top of the panel.
- Changing the route options: battery at arrival and avoid options using the route option icon at the top of the panel.
Managing stops
Users can edit their route by adding stops, removing stops, or changing the order of the manually added stops.
Automatically added charging stops cannot be reordered. With any changes in the order, the charging plan and suggested chargers will be adjusted accordingly.
Route options
Route options can be set to match specific driver needs.
The user can choose to plan a route that attempts to avoid tolls, unpaved roads, motorways, ferries/car shuttle trains, tunnels, border crossings, and HOV lanes (US only), by changing the state of the toggle in the Avoid on this route list.
The user can also choose the battery level to arrive with, either at the charging stop or destination, by setting the desired value.
By changing these options along the route, the charging plan and suggested chargers are adjusted accordingly.
Flows
Disabling automatically adding charging stops
Charging stops will be added automatically to the route whenever the destination is located outside of the vehicle's range. Users can disable this setting by pressing the button in the Route Panel.
Changing battery level at destination
Opening the route options from the route preview panel brings up a slider to select the battery level at the destination. The route and charging stops are automatically updated after adjusting the slider.
