Plan now uses a vehicle preset, 90% start SOC, Wh/km from preset, and cost-aware ranking on longer corridors. Adjust on the planner page if needed.

May — pre-monsoon heat advisory

May and June heat across India often adds 10–15% energy use on highways (AC, battery cooling). Bump reserve SOC and search threshold for this route.

  • AC load and hot battery packs reduce real range — add 5% reserve SOC in May–June.
  • Plan DC stops earlier than winter; verify live charger status before you leave each city.

Suggested planner settings: 25% reserve SOC · 35% search threshold

Charger network is thinner than metros — always select a backup stop.

How EV Grids helps

Quick plan: cities in, preset selected, open Google Maps.

Ideal corridor to practice reading gun count and kW on stop cards.

Quick tips

  • Durg–Bhilai area has options before Raipur city.
  • Check station cost estimate if using prefer lower-cost ranking.

Frequently asked questions

Stops Nagpur to Raipur?
0–1 DC stop for most modern EVs. Smaller packs should plan one session near mid-route.
Raipur onward?
Connect to Bhubaneswar or Kolkata corridors via future legs — plan each segment separately.
Connector type?
CCS2 is standard on highway DC — match your car filters.
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.
