PLANNING AN EV ROUTE AND CHARGING ALONG THE WAY

EV Route Planning:

• Tap the Map tab on the app’s Home screen to start planning your route.
• Use the Search box to enter your destination. You can enter a Point of Interest (POI), address or charging station, or select a location from the map by a long tap on the map. When you find it, tap the Plan Route button.
  
• The app will help you decide if you have enough charge to reach your destination. If not, it will help you plan a stop at a charging station along the way.
• Adjust the settings for your trip as needed (add and remove stops).
• Open the directions in your phone’s navigation app.
• Tap the three dots (ellipsis icon) and then select “Save as favorite” to save locations to your favorites.

Find Charging Stations:

• On the map tab, view the charging stations in your local area or use the search bar at the top to view charging stations in your desired location.
• Tap the icon in the shape of a funnel to filter charging stations according to preferred charging provider or type of charging station.
• Plan your route to the station, if needed.
• To enroll in Plug and Charge and Charge by App, tap the ellipsis in the top-right corner and select the public charging services page. Then, activate Plug and Charge on applicable networks.
• When you’re in the vehicle, you can also search for charging stations along your route or nearby in Google Maps on your center display.

You can set up your home and work locations during the app setup process or through the screen search. This will make the features more personal.
