While you are sleeping, your e-car is charging electricity
A modern e-car has a range of 300 to 450 kilometers. Which is more than enough for the everyday life of the average European. His average «day trip» is less than 50 kilometers. If you make it a habit to connect the e-car to the charging station at home, you can avoid public charging stations. Unless a longer trip is planned.
Take a break
Automobile associations recommend taking regular breaks on the road. The journey should be interrupted for at least 15 minutes after every 200 kilometers or every two hours. While you treat yourself to a coffee or stretch your limbs, your e-car can also recharge its batteries. Along the main traffic routes, a rapidly growing network of high-performance direct current charging stations ensures that also your e-car returns to full capacity after the coffee break.

On the internet, you find several route planners for e-cars. abetterrouteplanner.com caught our eye in particular. The features for travel planning impress with their diversity. In April 2021 trips can be planned for e-cars from around 50 large and smaller brands.
And that’s how it works:
After entering the start and destination of your trip, select your vehicle model. If the range is not sufficient for the planned route, the website shows which charging stations along the route you should use. Only charging stations that are relevant for the selected vehicle are displayed. abetterrouteplanner.com tells you at which charging station with what percentage of charge you are likely to arrive and how long it will take to recharge. The website shows driving time and distance for each part of the route as well as for the entire route.
The route suggested can be customized. You deactivate a certain charging station if you do not want to charge there. If you plan a longer stop at a charging station to have lunch the station can be marked with a «long break». Route planning and loading stops are adjusted accordingly. abetterrouteplanner.com makes you a more relaxed driver.
