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.
July — monsoon on Western Ghats routes
Monsoon rain on ghat roads means slower speeds and higher consumption. Pick backup chargers and avoid relying on a single gun near landslide-prone stretches.
- 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.
Suggested planner settings: 30% reserve SOC · 35% search threshold · hills & weather on (includes monsoon adjustment Jun–Sep)

Frequently asked questions
- Surat to Mumbai stops?
- Often zero or one convenience DC stop.
- Reverse of Ahmedabad–Mumbai?
- Shorter than Ahmedabad leg — good add-on from Gujarat trips.
- Traffic delays?
- Keep extra SOC buffer for Mumbai metro congestion after arrival.
- 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.
