The EV route planner that knows your car and the road

Type a destination and the app plans the whole drive: which chargers to stop at, how much to add at each one, how long that takes, whether the charger is on your side of the motorway, and where to spend the night. It works from your car's real range at the speed you will actually drive, not the figure on the brochure.

One real plan, as the app laid it out. The worked example is below.

What it plans

Seven decisions, made before you leave the driveway

Where to stopThe chargers, in driving order, each with the battery you will arrive on and the level to charge to. Not the nearest charger to the road: the one that gets you to the next one with a margin.
How much, and how long"Charge to 94% here" is a number, and so is the time it takes at that charger's power. A 60 kW stop and a 120 kW stop get different answers, and the plan shows both.
Which side of the motorwayA charger on the opposite carriageway can cost you the next interchange and back. Every stop says "your side" or "opposite side" before you commit to it.
Whether it fits your carConnector and power are checked against your model. A stop only appears if your car can plug in and take the speed it offers.
What it costsThe price per kWh at each stop, so a PKR 120 charger and a PKR 200 charger are a choice you make, not a surprise on the receipt.
Where to sleepA drive longer than a day gets an overnight stop, placed where the day's driving ends, and the next morning starts from there.
When you arriveLeave at 3:06 AM, arrive at 5:08 PM the next day: the departure time you set, the charging time at every stop and the night all counted.

How it decides

Your car, at your speed, on that road

Your carPick your model once from 395 in the catalogue. The planner uses its battery size, charging curve and connector, so the stops it picks are ones your car can use at a speed it can take.

Your speedConsumption is worked out for the speed you will drive, not a lab cycle. A 243 km leg at 100 km/h uses 83% of the battery in the example below, and the plan says so on the leg itself.

A marginYou are never planned to arrive empty. Each stop shows the arrival percentage, and the planner keeps a reserve so a headwind or a diversion does not become a tow.

What is actually workingSarai chargers report their status live. Community chargers carry driver reports, and one flagged as faulty is taken out of every plan until a driver confirms it working again.

Your choice at each stopEvery stop shows the alternatives beside it, with their power, price and side of the road. Prefer the faster one, or the cheaper one, and swap it in.

A real plan

Lahore to Karachi, as the app laid it out

The plan1,199 km and 15h 51m of driving, with 6 charges and 1 night. Leave at 3:06 AM and arrive at 5:08 PM the next day. Stop 1 is HUBCO PSO Magic River North on the M-2 at 60 kW for 1h 11m; stop 2 is Abdul Hakim on the M-4 at 120 kW for 1h 16m; stop 3 is HUBCO Zahir Pir South on the M-5 for 18 minutes; then the night in Rahim Yar Khan.

The stops, with alternativesAt stop 1 you arrive on 45% and charge to 94% in 1h 11m at PKR 120/kWh, on your side. The alternative beside it is 120 kW on MM Alam Road. Then 243 km, 3h 3m, using 83% at 100 km/h. At stop 2 the pick is on the opposite side at PKR 200/kWh, and the plan tells you both before you leave.

Sarai route planner stops: arrival battery, charge to, minutes, price per kWh, which side of the motorway

On the roadThe stop rail runs down the side of the map, the night in orange. Tap any stop for its distance, minutes, charge-to and arrival battery, call ahead, or swap it. The planned battery for where you are sits next to the real one, so you know early if the day is drifting.

Sarai navigation with the stop rail, 7 stops and an overnight, planned battery 87% at this point

Turn by turnNavigation with the battery beside it: 90% now, 14% needed to reach the next stop. The next stop is 11 km and 8 minutes away, charge to 94%, arriving on 86%. The whole trip, one turn at a time.

Questions

Questions about the planner

Does the EV route planner know my car?

Yes. Pick your model once from 395 in the catalogue and the planner uses its real battery size, charging curve and connector. Range is worked out for the speed you will drive on that road, so the stops it chooses are ones your car can reach, plug into, and charge at quickly.

How does it choose where to stop?

It looks for chargers along the road that your car can reach with a margin, that fit its connector and speed, and that are working. At each stop it shows the arrival battery, the level to charge to and the minutes that takes, plus the price per kWh and which side of the motorway the charger is on. The alternatives sit beside each pick, and you can swap in one tap.

Does it plan overnight stops?

Yes. A drive longer than a day gets an overnight stop, placed where the day's driving ends. Lahore to Karachi comes out as 6 charges and 1 night in Rahim Yar Khan, leaving at 3:06 AM and arriving at 5:08 PM the next day.

What if a charger is offline when I get there?

Sarai chargers report their status live, so the plan already knows. Community chargers carry driver reports, and one flagged as faulty is removed from every plan until a driver confirms it working. On the road you can call the charger ahead from the stop card, and swap the stop for the alternative beside it.

Does it know which side of the motorway a charger is on?

Yes. Every stop says your side or opposite side. On a Pakistani motorway a charger on the wrong carriageway can mean driving to the next interchange and back, so the planner treats the side as part of the choice, not a detail.

Do I need an account to plan a trip?

No. Open the app, pick your car and a destination, and the plan is there. You create an account only when you want to pay for a charge from the wallet.

Can I see a route without the app?

Yes. The route pages on this site list every charger along each motorway in driving order, with the stops a standard-range EV needs. The app does the same for your own car and your own departure time, with live charger status and the night placed for you.
