Online Routing API

This page describes charging parameters for the Long Distance EV Routing API.

Charging connectors

For additional information, refer to Charging parameters.

The connector list can model different physical connectors and other constraints.

Examples

Example of a vehicle capable of charging only at native pack voltage

Modeled with one connector with open voltage range:

1"chargingConnectors": [
2  {
3    "currentType": "DC",
4    "maxPowerInkW": 100,
5    "maxVoltageInV": 355,
6    "voltageRange": {
7      "minVoltageInV": 355,
8      "maxVoltageInV": 0    # this means no limit
9    },
10    "plugTypes": [ ... ]
11  },
12]

Example of split-pack/series-pack configuration

Some vehicles have a low voltage battery pack that can be reconfigured in series for high power charging.

Alternatively, some models use a high voltage pack that can be used in a split-pack configuration for low voltage charging.

1"chargingConnectors": [
2  {
3    "currentType": "DC",
4    "maxPowerInkW": 160,
5    "maxVoltageInV": 400,
6    "voltageRange": {
7      "minVoltageInV": 400,
8      "maxVoltageInV": 800,
9    },
10    "plugTypes": [ ... ]
11  },
12  {
13    "currentType": "DC",
14    "maxPowerInkW": 350,
15    "maxVoltageInV": 800,
16    "voltageRange": {
17      "minVoltageInV": 800,
18      "maxVoltageInV": 0    # this means no limit
19    },
20    "plugTypes": [ ... ]
21  },

Example of DC-DC converter equipped vehicle

Some vehicles (e.g., E-GMP and J1 platform) include a high voltage battery pack and DC–DC converter for low voltage station use. The voltageRange.minVoltageInV for the lower power "connector" indicates the minimum voltage accepted by the converter, not the battery pack voltage.

1"chargingConnectors": [
2  {
3    "currentType": "DC",
4    "maxPowerInkW": 100,
5    "maxVoltageInV": 423,
6    "voltageRange": {
7      "minVoltageInV": 400,
8      "maxVoltageInV": 697,
9    },
10    "plugTypes": [ ... ]
11  },
12  {
13    "currentType": "DC",
14    "maxPowerInkW": 263,
15    "maxVoltageInV": 697,
16    "voltageRange": {
17      "minVoltageInV": 697,
18      "maxVoltageInV": 0    # this means no limit
19    },
20    "plugTypes": [ ... ]
21  },
