Travel by electric car with children: plan stops by people, not just by kilowatts

The family journey is not a short-term competition at the stand. A good stop connects charging with the toilet, food and moment of movement - and has an alternative ready when it is full or the plan changes.

Start with the crew rhythm.

First choose how long you usually stop after. Then compare the charger performance. If children need a break earlier, the route with a single "ideal" hub forces the driver to improvise. In the planner set the pause time and have the A / B / C scenarios shown: earlier, planned and later stop.

Create both main and backup options

1. Select the main stop with the necessary connector, adequate performance and background.
2. Drive to it with your own safe reserve, not the minimum shown in the calculation.
3. Find the second stop before or behind her, which you can make even if you change the plan.
4. For both before departure check the price and start charging in the operator application.

Common errors

• Count on the power of a stand that a car can't accept.
• Let the battery drop so low that the backup will no longer be reachable.
• Turn the place around into an open restaurant or a toilet.
• Count on one card without validating the price of roaming.
