What is Chargetrip?
Chargetrip makes switching to electric mobility easy and cost-effective for both private drivers and fleets. Chargetrip is the world’s leading range prediction and EV routing platform. We accurately predict the energy consumption and charging times for any EV make or model, on any route, across the globe.
With Chargetrip GO you can preview how Route Planner works.
The Chargetrip API documentation you can check here.
Research.
After research of available soultions on the market the choice was simple. We decided we will integrate Chargetrip API with their algorithm that calculates the best available route for user's electric car.
What has been done to fit Chargetrip API requirements?
