Best charger route mapping

[JAR897]

Hi everyone,

just looking for the best app for viewing and mapping EV charge points in the UK? I know the car comes with the ability but unsure if it’s just for superchargers(?), and I’d like an app for my iPhone.

I’ve looked at zap map, which looks decent - but unsure which chargers should be visible (only want to see chargers which are equivalent to supercharger charging speeds etc - rapid)?

ABRP as well as Zap-Map. ABRPs route planning is better, but zap-maps database has more information about the charger locations.

I find Zap Map more useful than PlugShare, for filtering chargers.

If you really do only want supercharger powers (120kW? and 150 kW for V2, 250 kW for V3) or greater, you will miss out on the 50 kW chargers, which are the vast majority at the moment.

Zap Map will allow you to filter the type of charger and power. Model 3 can't charge above 11 kW on type 2, so only look at CCS. Turn off CHAdeMO unless you want to buy an adapter.

perfect - thanks! 50kw added, 1hr seems acceptable time to wait. Thanks

Yes, that is very useful. Been looking at posts for a while for that info.

Deffo recommend ZapMap

Personally I use both zap-map and PlugShare if I need to plan to use third-party chargers. They are quite complimentary to each other, as often one has more recent comments about the charger reliability than the other.

WattsUp is good assuming you are traveling from A to B without wanting to do any shopping etc as it shows 50kW+
