Drive Charge Eat

Charge where there is food, restrooms and people — never an empty lot. Now finds a reachable charger if your next stop drifts out of range.

Drive Charge Eat plans your electric road trips around the two things that matter most on a long drive: where to charge and where to eat.

Tell it your destination and Drive Charge Eat builds a route with charging stops timed to your battery — then shows the food, coffee, and amenities waiting at each stop, so every break does double duty.

WHERE IT STOPS, AND WHY

Every charging stop is a real place — a service area, a truck stop, a site with a restaurant — never a row of chargers in an empty lot. That's a filter applied before anything else, not a preference a faster charger can override. Twenty minutes somewhere with food, restrooms and people around is a break. Twenty minutes in an unlit lot is something you endure, and it's worse with children in the car.

You choose the restaurant chains your family will actually stop for, and those come first. Anything closed at the time you'd arrive is hidden, not listed. On paired motorway areas, you're sent to the one on YOUR side of the road.

ROUTING THAT MATCHES YOUR CAR

Set your model once and routing works from its real-world range, adjusted for the day's temperature and the elevation of the road ahead. Charging speed tapers as the battery fills, so the planner models the curve rather than assuming a flat rate — which is why it often prefers two short charges to one long one.

You set the minimum charge to arrive at a charging stop with, and separately the minimum to have left at your destination. If anything changes on the road, the trip re-plans from where you are.

CARPLAY

Full CarPlay navigation, not a phone screen on the dashboard. Turn-by-turn voice guidance, lane guidance where the data allows, the distance to your next charging stop, and the charge you're projected to arrive with — updating as you drive. Change your state of charge from the car screen and the plan updates immediately.

EAT NOW

One tap shows your favourite restaurants open within about 30 minutes, each with its town and how many fast chargers (100 kW and up) are right there. For the moment the trip stops going to plan.

QUICK CHARGE

When you only need electrons, it ranks nearby fast chargers by available power and gets out of the way.
