Effective range & charging stops by EV
The plan tunes to your car — Tesla Model 3 / Model Y, Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, Chevy Bolt EUV — across mild, cold, and arctic conditions. The number of stops matches the real drive and the day's forecast, not an idealized spec sheet.
