EV route planner evaluation

Evidence for educational evaluation: station coverage, connector compatibility, energy assumptions, and data provenance.

What each route plan calculates

  1. Road routeRequests distance, duration, and a polyline from Google Directions, then finds stations within the configured corridor.
  2. CompatibilityA station needs at least one connector supported by the car and must pass status and access rules.
  3. Energy and safetyUses the car's energy consumption, battery reserve, and arrival battery target.
  4. Charging timeCapped by the car's maximum DC power and uses an estimated taper above 50% and 80% state of charge.
  5. ComparisonShows driving-only time, charging time, total journey time, and the added time.
