EV Trip Planner: Auto-routing through Superchargers
- Thread starter Cliff Hannel
- Start date
Just FYI, EVTripPlanner is also giving me erroneous routing -- it is telling me (I think) to double back from my destination to hit the Supercharger.
Here's the Route:
Porter Ranch, CA -> San Simeon, CA; Route through Superchargers
Gives (using Automatic Route through Buellton SC): [Note the Buellton Supercharger is listed as much farther away than it really is]
Thanks

I could not find a place to enter a different distance between superchargers. Also, it seems we need to be able to set the "min distance between superchargers" so some of them can be skipped. As applied to the East coast through the NYC area, I find that evtripplanner is sending me to a supercharger much more often than necessary, and I couldn't get it to recalculate things after removing the unnecessary ones, without putting them back in again.
Thanks much for this effort! I hope you get bought out by Tesla so they can put your product into their navigation software.

Great update. The where did teslas go feature was counting up constantly on my browser. Was that intended or just a side effect?

Tried loading it on my Model S web browser and it would not fully load, with the map missing. Also, while there was plenty of signal, it appeared things were not being formatted as they had been on my Chrome browser running on a Mac. Will keep trying, and my longest trip to date begins tomorrow, from Annapolis to Portland ME. I think I can make it from Hamilton Marketplace to E. Greenwich, but it will be nice to double check with EVTripPlanner and its energy assessment. Of course there are plenty of SCs along that route, so it's just a matter of trying to skip as many as possible.

I did find under Settings the "Charger Radius" and "Supercharger Radius" with the note to "set to zero to see all superchargers", which sounds like it will make SCs disappear the greater the distance that is entered there. I tried setting it to 200 miles and still got all the SCs on the route. Then I tried 150 miles, and the calculation seems to have gotten into an infinite loop...?
More to come as I gain more experience with it...

I just leave that to 0 and it shows all Superchargers on the map. It occasionally routes you backwards to a supercharger, but you can easily click the x to delete that one site and then have it do a normal "direct" calc to re calc everything,,,

Great site. Thanks. Is there a way to print some or all of the information once a route has been determined?
You can export to CSV, which is located on the bottom of the 'Details' and 'Steps' tabs.

Hi Al, they are intended to show Rated Miles consumed at various points along the route, but there is a bug and they are not correct. We'll update in future version. Sorry for any inconvenience. Regards, Cliff.

No worries Cliff. Pretty impressive program. Thanks. I feel even better now. I just assumed I couldn't figure out what those numbers were telling me because I'm getting old. :smile:

EVTripPlanner loads, but the home screen display is very distorted. I am on Mac OS 10.8.5.
Here is what it looks like on Chrome Version 38.0.2125.104:

Here is what the home page looks like on Safari Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1):
Our web host, HostGator, suddenly cut us off due to high growth in usage of the site (despite their claim of "unlimited resources"!). We had to move our server and it is now up again. We are using a self-signed certificate for a few days while we get our permanent certificate. You will need to hit advanced and accept the certificate to proceed. This will not compromise any security (i.e. our password is never passed in the clear). You might want to preview Planner version 2.5 at https://www.evtripplanner.com/planner/2-5. We also will have a beta of our in-car browser app coming out in January - it will provide real-time information on next chargers (miles/rated-miles/time) and lat/lon/altitude side-by-side with the Tesla Nav while you're driving.
Awesome. Thanks for the advice and all your hard work on this tool. I can't wait to take delivery and try it out in the wild!
That's sounds great. Looking forward to the in car web app.
Previously I printed out a spreadsheet with expected used RM at various points along the route, so I could keep track of how close we were to predicted range and adjust if needed.

Unfortunately I can't get the site to load this evening. Sorry to hear of your troubles (build a better mouse trap and get cut off?!?!?) I used the App for our recent Napa trip and liked the confirmation of details I'd worked out on Google Maps. Look forward to running the App in the car!
Cliff, is your DNS setup correct? The nameservers for evtripplanner still point to hostgator's servers, but they are providing what may be a FIOS home address (71.110.109.32)
I see SYN's going out, but no response. Looks like 71.110.109.32 is either down, port 80 is blocked, or the DNS entry is wrong.
