The calculation uses usable battery, reference consumption and the vehicle’s speed curve. **Availability:** Charging stops work when the start and destination are in DriveQuery’s ten current markets. **Multiple ordered stops:** Add up to eight intermediate stops. You can also move the start or destination anywhere in the order before planning. Charging and energy are recalculated for the full route. [Open the interactive route planner](https://drivequery.com/us/tesla-trip-planner/) ## One plan. Four answers before you leave. DriveQuery combines the road route, car and battery in one calculation, with no sign-in. ### Road route and time See road distance and estimated driving time between your chosen places. ### Energy and arrival battery The Tesla variant’s battery, consumption and route speeds shape the energy estimate. ### Charging stops and minutes When needed, the plan selects a reachable fast charger and estimates charging time. ## How do I start an EV route plan? No account is required. DriveQuery first asks for the car model, model year, version and starting battery level. On mobile, starting charge is set with a slider. If you allow browser location, your current position becomes the origin and the next question is simply where you want to go. Otherwise, enter both origin and destination. 1. Choose the car: model, year and version. 2. Set the starting battery percentage. 3. Optionally use your current location as the origin. 4. Enter the destination and calculate the route, charging stops and arrival battery. ## Charging stop intelligence DriveQuery does more than find a reachable charger. After route, connector compatibility and arrival-battery checks, it can use researched stop data to compare technically valid charging stops. - **StopScore and preferences:** Use Must Have and Prefer for researched amenities such as toilets, coffee, food, grocery, indoor seating or 24/7 access. StopScore v2.2 ranks suitability; missing evidence stays unknown. - **Better Stop and arrival hours:** Better Stop only suggests an alternative after an actual reroute and battery validation. When opening-hours evidence is available, it can be checked for the estimated arrival time. - **Verified prices and trip cost:** Verified current charging prices can be shown when supported by evidence. DriveQuery can estimate stop and trip charging cost without treating unknown prices as free or assuming a membership tariff. ## Route planning with visible assumptions Choose the Tesla model, model year and version. The calculation uses usable battery, reference consumption and the vehicle’s speed curve. The charging plan aims for at least 10% at chargers and the destination, adding only the energy needed for the next safe leg. ### This is a planning estimate - Choose dry (68 °F), rain (50 °F) or snow (23 °F, winter tires). Terrain elevation is included when Copernicus data is available; the result shows whether it was used. Wind, live weather, traffic and slower cold-battery charging are not modelled. - Charger information is open data and does not guarantee live status, price or availability. - Confirm the final route and charger in the car’s navigation or with the operator before leaving. ## Route planner questions ### Is the route planner free? Yes. You can plan a supported route without an account or payment. ### Which cars are supported? The first version supports the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X variants shown in the tool. ### Where do charging stops work? Start and destination can be in Finland, Sweden, Norway, the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain or the United States. ### Is this live navigation? No. DriveQuery is an independent planning tool. Use the car’s navigation for traffic and current charger status. ## DriveQuery Route Prefer the general EV route-planning page?
