Why opt for our Route Planner over Google Maps?

By now, you've likely grown accustomed to navigating using Google or Apple Maps. While they excel in providing real-time turn-by-turn directions, they lack functionalities crucial for EV drivers. Specifically, they overlook your car's remaining battery charge and its implications on travel distance.

In Fortum Charge & Drive route planner feature, you'll start by selecting your vehicle model. Additionally, you'll input the current battery charge level and your desired charge level upon arrival.

Using this information, the route planner compute the most efficient route to your destination, detailing where and for how long you'll need to charge. Moreover, you have the option to transfer the generated route to your phone's map application or your car's onboard navigation system for seamless guidance.
