Holiday Highlight: The new Chargeprice Route Planner!🗺️
It’s the feature you’ve been waiting for most eagerly. We’ve collected your feedback over the past few years, tinkered, and programmed. Today is the day: we present the Chargeprice Route Planner – the first tool of its kind that plans your route not just by miles, but by your personal charging card wallet.
Your Wallet Defines the Way
Traditional route planners show you where you can charge. We show you where you want to charge. The Chargeprice Route Planner is the first in the world to include your individual charging tariffs in the calculation. We specifically suggest routes where you get the best conditions with the tariffs in your wallet. No more guessing at the charging station – the route adapts to your cards, not the other way around.
Smart planning instead of blindly chasing the lowest price
Our algorithm is smart. It doesn’t stubbornly look for the absolute cheapest station; it optimizes using complex logic for a perfect travel experience:
- Distance from the Route: No hour-long detours for minimal savings.
- Station Quality: We evaluate the number of charging points and the available charging power.
- Safety: The state of charge (SoC) upon reaching the station is calculated so that you always arrive with a buffer.
Flexibility: We suggest the optimal stop, but for every halt, we show up to 20 alternative charging options nearby. You remain the boss of your journey.
A Feature for Everyone with an Extra Boost for Premium Users)
Great news: the route planner is largely usable in the free version!
- Free Users: Plan your trips including all wallet benefits. An upgrade is only required if the trip is very long (more than 3 necessary charging stops).
- Premium Users & Summer Pass Holders: You enjoy full freedom. Save your favorite routes, manually adjust suggested charging stops, and plan unlimited journeys across the continent.
Chargeprice Pro Tip: Feedback is Our Fuel
This is the first version of our route planner – our “base camp.” We have big plans! In the future, we want to make the weighting of factors (e.g., “always the cheapest price” vs. “fastest travel time”) configurable for you.
Your Contribution: Since the route planner lives on your experience, use the feedback function in the app! Are you missing a setting? Was a stop not optimal? Tell us. Together, we are building the best planner for the EV community.
