Charging On Route
The charging on route feature provides drivers the ability to plan locations where vehicle recharge will be required on the route. The following parameters are used:
- Route: list of geo-points of the current route
- State of Charge: percentage of charge remaining on vehicle battery
- Remaining range: current estimated range of vehicle in Km
- Low energy threshold: the lowest percentage of remaining battery charge acceptable before next recharge. This parameter accepts a value of between 5 and 50.
With the above parameters this feature will recommend locations indicating where re-charge is required adjacent to driver’s route. Consider the following cases:
- Route requires a single stop to charge: Feature will return several EV charge stations in vicinity of the required charging location adjacent to the route.
- Route requires multiple charging stops: Features returns 2 or more ‘clusters’ of EV charge station locations with each cluster representing a recommend charge location.
- Route requires no charging stops: If no charging is required then feature will return EV charge stations around the destination. Status code will indicate no charge is required (NO_CHARGING_REQUIRED see status codes table).
- EV charge stations are not found to support the route: in cases where EV charge stations cannot be found to support any given leg of the route then this feature will not return any charge stations and status code will indicate failure to plan route (FAILED_TO_PLAN_ROUTE see status codes table). Changing filters or low energy threshold parameter may enable more charge stations to be found.
Filtering is supported based on below listed charging station attributes:
Filter by Charge Network This feature enables drivers to find EV charge stations for a specific charging network such as Chargepoint or EVgo. To filter charge station search by network use the .setChargerBrands method within EVFilter.Builder(). The following table shows some common charge networks and their respective ids (for the full list see EV Charging networks table):
ID | Charge Network |
---|---|
99100001 | ChargePoint |
99100002 | Blink |
99100003 | eVgo |
99100010 | ElectrifyAmerica |
Filter by Connector Type This feature enables drivers to find EV charge stations by specific connector type such as J1772, CCS, etc. To filter charge stations by connector type use the .setConnectorTypes method within EVFilter.Builder(). The below table contains examples of commonly used connector types:
ID | Connector Type |
---|---|
30001 | J1772 |
30002 | SAE Combo |
30003 | CHAdeMO |
Filter by Charge Level This feature enables drivers to find EV charge stations by specific power (charge) level such as Level 2 or DC Fast. To filter stations by charge level use the .setPowerFeedLevels method within EVFilter.Builder(). Currently supported power levels are:
ID | Power Level |
---|---|
1 | Level 1 |
2 | Level 2 |
5 | DC Fast |
