Interval stops
Hi - The route planner feature I have most needed in 7 years of bev driving, and which none seem to support, is to be able to set a maximum time and distance between charge stops. eg 2 hours or 200 miles whichever comes first. The planner should schedule charger stops around these constraints - ie plan a stop at whichever of the two constraints will be reached first on a given route.
This fits better with the way most experienced bev drivers operate:
charge whenever we stop
we all have different lengths of time we can manage before needing a stop
we choose the battery range we are comfortable operating in - the no. of miles chosen is a proxy for this. In my case 200 miles is approx 60%, keeping me in the 20-80% range.
Hope this is useful!

Driving intervals before charging
It would be nice to support programming for instance 2 hours driving intervals on long trips.

Agree with this. Both for myself and especially with kids in the car; 90 mins is the maximum practical distance. Whether the car needs charging or not. Even if that means getting on an AC charger when stopped, or even not charging at all.

Obviously I meant 200 miles or *3* hours whichever comes first - not 2 hours! I don’t typically drive at 100mph!
