Frequently asked questions

Kolkata to Patna charging?: Plan 2 DC stops for most EVs. Long-range may manage with 1 stop + careful driving.
Patna onward?: Plan Patna → Lucknow or Varanasi as separate trips.
Night driving?: Prefer known highway DC with backups — avoid unknown rural pins after dark.
Should I set Wh/km on EV Grids for this route?: Yes, if you know your car's average consumption. Vehicle presets pre-fill Wh/km (e.g. Nexon EV Max ~155 Wh/km). Highway driving with AC in Indian heat often uses more than the brochure figure — enter your own Wh/km for tighter SOC estimates and safer stop spacing.
How do lower-cost and max ₹/kWh filters work?: Enable Prefer lower-cost stations to rank Tata Power, Statiq, ChargeZone, and other networks by indicative ₹/kWh. Optionally set a max ₹/kWh cap to skip pricier sites when the operator is known. EV Grids still checks you can reach each stop with your reserve SOC — if a cheap station is too far, we suggest a reachable alternative.
