Why is Repsol offering an EV route planner?
Repsol aims to lead the way on Spain’s transition to electric mobility through providing widespread access to charging services and creating the best experience for its EV customers. This will dramatically increase the utilization of Repsol’s charging stations by making it easy for drivers to find and access them.
Through its new EV route planner, Repsol is making EV driving and charging seamless for Spanish EV owners and making it easy for new EV buyers to make the switch. With its intelligent and personalized route planning, Waylet now lets drivers explore all of Spain in an EV with confidence.
How does the Waylet route planner work?
Users start by configuring their vehicle by choosing the model they drive and their current state of charge. This ensures that their route plans are tailored to their vehicle’s actual range and current battery.
Next, users enter their starting point and destination.
Finally, they receive a tailored route plan. The plan shows:
The driving route and estimated time, with charge stops along the way
How long to charge at each stop
State-of-charge at each stop
Information on each charging station
How does the Chargetrip API work?
Electric mobility leaders like Repsol can leverage the Chargetrip API for their EV navigation and routing applications.
The API provides the algorithm for EV routing behind about 15% of European EV drivers. This handles the most advanced calculations needed for your application including model-specific energy consumption for over 600 different EVs, live impacts on battery like weather and road surface, and traffic. All the data and calculations you need through a single API.
