We geocode your origin and destination, then request a driving route from Google Directions (or OpenRouteService when configured). The returned polyline is the path we use for distance, elevation hints, and charger discovery — not a straight line between cities.
Long routes may be split into chunks so discovery stays fast. Cached routes are reused for identical city pairs for up to 30 days.
We sample points along the corridor and query cached charger data plus live Places / OpenChargeMap where needed. Stations far from the driving path are filtered out even if they look close on a map.
Connector type and minimum kW from your vehicle preset exclude slow AC-only sites when you plan for highway DC stops.
Candidate stops are scored for detour distance, power, ratings, reliability signals, amenities, and optional cost. The planner walks the route in order, placing primary stops and backup alternatives when your SOC crosses the search threshold.
Range uses your preset Wh/km and optional terrain / weather adjustment — not a guarantee of your exact consumption.
Charger status, queue length, pricing, and access can change hourly. Outages and road closures happen. Always verify a backup stop and your car's own SOC display before you rely on a plan.
EV Grids is independent — not operated by Google, Tata Power, Jio-BP, or any automaker. See Terms and Contact pages for support.
