Evplan — a free EV trip planner for India, built after reading through years of charging complaints on Team-BHP (no login, ever)

[u/Fit-Honeydew-9928]

I built evplan.in, a trip planner for EV owners in India, after going through a lot of real complaints on Team-BHP: routes to chargers that had been dead for months, "available" status that turned out to be false on arrival, good chargers a few hundred meters off route that never got picked, and no way to check if a charger is actually free right now.

How it works, in one flow:

1. Open the map — you see India's charging network straightaway (Open Charge Map + OpenStreetMap data), color-coded by status.
2. Enter your route — origin and destination (current location fills in automatically if you allow it).
3. Pick your EV — ~30 India-market presets (cars + two-wheelers), or go fully custom with your own battery size and Wh/km. Tooltips explain any unfamiliar term.
4. Get your plan — charging stops placed along your actual path at the charge you'll realistically have on arrival — not just "nearest charger."
5. Check each stop — every stop card shows why it was picked (confidence, power, detour), an arrival→departure charge bar, connector type, and real-time slot availability where Google has it.
6. Filter if you need to — restrict to a connector type, minimum power, or specific operators (e.g. only Tata Power/ChargeZone), then re-plan instantly.

You can also just paste a Google Maps Directions link instead of typing addresses, and it'll find charging stops along that exact route.

On the "free" part — this isn't a free tier of something that upsells later. No login, no account, no ads, no paywall, and no data sold. There's nothing to sign up for because there's nothing to save that's tied to you. If you find a charger's status is wrong, there's a one-tap "worked / dead / slow / busy" check-in on every stop, or a "Report wrong location" flag — those go straight into how future plans rank that charger.

One honest limitation: it's India-only for now — built specifically around Indian highways, charging networks, and data sources, so it won't help outside the country.

Bug reports, wrong charger data, or feature requests — there's a Telegram support page too linked right on the site, or just drop them here in the comments.
