Plan a whole electric-vehicle journey, charge stops included. Give origin and destination (plus optional waypoints) and a vehicle — a published profile ("small_hatch", "saloon", "suv", "van") and/or inline figures (battery_kwh, mass_kg, drag_area_m2, aux_kw, connectors) — with start_soc (default 0.9), min_arrival_soc (default 0.1), reserve_soc (default 0.1, the floor the charge must never drop below mid-route), optional connectors and min_kw filters and ambient_temperature_c. Energy comes from a published road-load physics model over the route's own legs; charge times are integrated over the vehicle's charging curve capped by the charge point, NOT energy divided by peak power, which is the single biggest error in naive EV planners. Returns the stops with arrive/depart state of charge, charge time and detour, a per-leg state-of-charge trace, and the journey's driving and charging time. IMPORTANT: when no plan exists — a charger desert, a connector mismatch, a gap wider than the car's range — the answer comes back with feasible: false, a reason and the furthest point on the route the car can actually reach. That is an ANSWER, not an error to retry: report the reason and never describe it as a plan. gradient_data says whether elevation was available: "absent" means consumption was modelled on the flat and under-reads a hilly route. There is no national charge-point registry, so ALWAYS show the returned coverage_note — an infeasible plan means "none from these operators", never "there are no chargers here" — and statuses are current only when availability_live is true. Requires the MapMap gateway; answers a clear error when the deployment has no charge-point dataset. Display the returned charging_attribution with the plan.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ambient_temperature_c | number | null | no | Ambient temperature in °C. Derates traction energy from a published study; cabin heating belongs in the vehicle's `aux_kw`. |
| connectors | array | null | no | Keep only charge points offering at least one of these connector standards: "type2", "type1", "ccs", "chademo", "tesla", "domestic", "other". This narrows the vehicle's own set, never widens it. |
| destination | any | yes | Where it ends. |
| max_detour_minutes | number | null | no | How far off the route a charge point may sit, as a detour in minutes (default 15, at most 120). |
| min_arrival_soc | number | null | no | Lowest acceptable state of charge on arrival (default 0.1). |
| min_kw | number | null | no | Keep only charge points with a usable connector rated at least this many kW (e.g. 50 for rapid charging only). |
| origin | any | yes | Where the journey starts. |
| reserve_soc | number | null | no | The floor the state of charge must never fall below mid-route (default 0.1). Distinct from the arrival figure. |
| start_soc | number | null | no | State of charge at the start, 0–1 (default 0.9). |
| vehicle | any | no | The vehicle. Omitted ⇒ the published "saloon" default, and the answer says which vehicle it used. |
| waypoints | array | null | no | Intermediate points the route must pass through, in order (at most 8). Charge stops are inserted around them. |
