Replug is a route planner for Tesla vehicles using the Tesla Supercharger network, similar to what's inside Tesla vehicles. Enter a start and destination and Replug will calculate an optimal route with any necessary charging stops along the way. You can configure options such as your vehicle model, consumption, and state of charge at various points along the trip. Besides route planning, you can also browse all Superchargers around the world inside Replug, and see relevant information such as number of stalls and charging rate at each location (powered by the Tesla Superchargers API).
