3. EV Co-Driver displays the recommended, and most optimized route from your start point to your destination point, including all the most convenient and recommended charging stations along the way. (If a non-stop trip is possible, meaning your destination falls within the range limits of your current State-of-Charge, then no charging stations will be displayed on your route.) EV Co-Driver also displays your driving time, any estimated wait times at the charging station, charge times at the charging station, and the total distance from your start point to your destination point.

4. You may also tap the station icon to view estimated arrival SOC and suggested SOC to charge at each charging station. You may also tap the destination icon to view estimated arrival SOC when you reach your destination. (Please note, If there are multiple charging stops involved in your route, then the wait and charge times are displayed as the combined total estimated wait time and minimum required charging time, respectively.)

Map Color key for stations pins:

         

Blue: At least one charger at the station is currently not in use and available. Additionally, the EV Co-Driver app may select such a station on your recommended route. PLEASE NOTE, the Blue pin DOES NOT indicate or mean that the wait time at the station is necessarily short.

Red: All the chargers at the station are in use and presently occupied. Please note that the EV Co-Driver app may select such a station for a recommended route. The Red pin DOES NOT indicate or mean that the expected wait time is necessarily long.

Gray: All the chargers at the station are offline or are currently out of order. EV Co-Driver will never select these stations. *
