Fast chargers on this corridor
- Primary + backup charger at every stop — swap on the map if a site is busy or offline.
- Filter by CCS2, Type 2, NACS, or minimum kW for your EV.
- Prefer lower-cost ranks Tata Power, Statiq, ChargeZone, and plaza operators where data exists.

July — monsoon landslide advisory
This corridor crosses landslide-prone stretches in monsoon. Allow extra SOC buffer for closures, hairpin queues, and wet-road consumption.
- Enable hills & weather adjustment on EV Grids for climb/descent energy use.
- Charge to a higher % before the climb; regen on descents is helpful but not a full refill.
- Wet roads and slower traffic extend drive time — keep extra buffer SOC.
- Check highway advisories; have a backup charger picked on both sides of risky stretches.
- Landslides and road closures can add hours — do not rely on a single charger in a narrow valley.
- Monitor IMD / state highway alerts; split long NE legs with an overnight hub (e.g. Siliguri).
Suggested planner settings: 32% reserve SOC · 38% search threshold · hills & weather on (includes monsoon adjustment Jun–Sep)
