Question 2

How do I find EV charging stations near me?

Accepted Answer

Open VoltRoute and allow location access. The map will display all nearby EV charging stations. You can filter by connector type (CCS, CHAdeMO, Type 2, NACS, J1772), charging speed (ultra-fast 150kW+, fast DC 50kW+, standard), and provider to find the best station for your vehicle.

Question 3

Can I plan a route to a charging station?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Select any charging station on the map and VoltRoute calculates the driving route with distance and estimated time of arrival. You can then get turn-by-turn directions via Google Maps or your device's native navigation app.

Question 4

Which EV charging networks does VoltRoute support?

Accepted Answer

VoltRoute aggregates data from five sources: Tesla Supercharger (Supercharge.info), NREL Alternative Fuel Stations, PlugShare, Open Charge Map, and OpenStreetMap — covering Tesla, ChargePoint, Electrify America, EVgo, and many more networks worldwide.

Question 5

Is VoltRoute free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, VoltRoute is completely free. It is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on any device with a web browser and can be installed on iOS and Android for quick access from your home screen.

Question 6

Can I use VoltRoute offline?

Accepted Answer

VoltRoute is a PWA with service worker support, so previously loaded station data and the app shell are cached for offline use. Real-time station updates require an internet connection.
