Plan your next EV road trip with confidence. Ranger helps you visualize your battery level along the route, so you know exactly where to stop and charge — before you even start driving. Whether you’re commuting or heading out on a long journey, Ranger makes it easy to see how far your current charge will take you, find suitable charging stations, and fine-tune your trip to match your driving style and efficiency. Key Features: • Visualize your trip at a glance. See your route color-coded by estimated battery level — from green (high) to red (low) and black (empty). • Find the right place to charge. View charging stations along your route and decide where to stop based on how low your battery will be. • Fine-tune your trip. Adjust your starting battery level and consumption with simple sliders to see instant updates to your route. • Plan stops your way. Select chargers manually and see how much to charge at each stop. Ranger shows your battery level before and after charging — no guesswork. • Stay in control. Plan your trip to arrive with a comfortable battery buffer, not a warning light. Ranger doesn’t make assumptions or auto-generate charging stops — instead, it gives you the insight and tools to make smart, flexible decisions based on how you drive and where you want to go.
