The website works without a login. Nevertheless, I’ve created a screenshot of a route from Madrid to Paris, 1260 km, with four charging stops, adjusted for a Hyundai Ioniq 6 LW AWD.
That’s pretty disingenuous, the Hyundai ionic 6 is either the second or third fastest charging (km/minute) EV on the market and costs twice as much as the most affordable non-chinese EVs. I’m an advocate for mass ev adoption, but to pretend that real issues don’t exist hurts the movement. Battery capacity doesn’t necessarily need to increase imo, but all cars need the charging speed of Hyundai/Tesla or better before these types of trips are reasonable.
In a 2023 Chevy Bolt here’s what the same trip looks like:
You’re right, I picked one of the fastest charging EVs. Your example of the chevy bolt is however one of the slowest EVs in terms of charging.
But you’re right, I probably should have chosen a more “average” car. 1 hour of charging for this trip is really the “best case”, other EVs need 2+ hours (or 3+ hours for older models).
What’s really nice about this website is that everyone can easily find out how much time charging takes for a given route and car. And that is really why I posted the link here.
Take a look at https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ and pick any modern EV and your desired route. Most charging stops will be below 15 minutes.
I am not making an account to test if this works.

The longest charging stop takes 18 minutes.

This thread was perfect, ultimately providing a high, a low, and an average.
