EV-tuned road-trip planner for iOS
Plan every leg of your electric road trip around fast chargers and great food — at real stops with restrooms and people around, never an isolated lot in the dark. Weather-aware battery routing, turn-by-turn navigation, and CarPlay. The break you already have to take, finally working for you — and safe with kids.

The two biggest barriers to electric driving — where to charge and how long it takes — are exactly the things a good plan removes. Drive Charge Eat is built on the data.
A 10–80% fast charge takes about as long as a meal — and 60% of EV drivers already eat or grab refreshments while charging, dwelling around 30 minutes near a restaurant. Drive Charge Eat stacks the stops: the car charges while you eat, and you leave rested with a full battery.
FLO (~40k drivers) · Paren (1M+ sessions, 2025)Range anxiety (55%) and too few convenient chargers (56%) are among the top reasons people hesitate to drive electric — and a lack of charging is the single most-cited reason unlikely buyers reject EVs (52%). The fix isn't a bigger battery; it's knowing exactly where you'll charge and how full you'll arrive. The app shows both before you leave.
AAA 2025 · J.D. Power 2024 EVC StudyPublic charging passed 7 million points worldwide at the end of 2025 — up more than 33% in a single year, including over 2 million fast chargers. The hard part isn't whether a charger exists; it's finding the right one, in time. Drive Charge Eat surfaces live fast-charger data along your exact route.
IEA Global EV Outlook 2026Plenty of chargers sit alone at the back of a dark, empty lot with no one around. Every stop Drive Charge Eat picks is paired with a restaurant instead — lit, busy, with staff and other travellers nearby.
Every feature exists because we hit the same wall on a real road trip.
Charging stops placed automatically from your car's real-world range and battery — tuned to ambient temperature, elevation, and terrain, so cold mornings and mountain passes are built into the plan. Charge times follow your car's real charging curve (and its taper above 80%), so the plan tops up just enough to stay fast. Set your own minimum arrival battery, and every stop keeps that safety reserve.
No more stranding yourself at an isolated charger in an empty lot — no food, no toilet, nobody around. Drive Charge Eat routes you to real service areas and restaurants where there are people, restrooms, and a proper meal: somewhere that actually feels safe to stop, which matters most when you're travelling with kids. Your favourite chains come first, stops stay right on your route, and Eat Now finds your favourites open within 30 minutes — each showing how many ≥100 kW fast chargers are right there. Charge while you genuinely rest.
Low or off-plan? Quick Charge ranks fast chargers near you by available power — filter by restaurant brand, see distance and ETA, set any station as your destination, or hand off to Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, or A Better Route Planner in one tap.
Every charging stop — timed to your battery, with food and a clear arrival time for every leg — laid out before you leave, with the energy and the temperature the plan assumes shown right at the top.
Voice-guided navigation in your phone's language, with the battery you'll have at the next stop and at your destination always on screen. Built for CarPlay — a smooth, fluid map with the car riding low like Waze, aligned to the road through every curve, and colour-coded maneuver signs showing the road and direction. Or hand the whole route off to Apple Maps, Waze, Google Maps, or A Better Route Planner in one tap.

Yes — that is the whole point of Drive Charge Eat. Drive Charge Eat plans every charging stop at a real place with food, restrooms and people around, putting your favourite restaurants first and hiding anything closed at the time you would arrive. Drive Charge Eat does not route you to an isolated parking lot, so the stops are ones you are comfortable making even with kids in the car.
Eat Now is a feature of Drive Charge Eat that shows, in one tap, your favourite restaurants open within about 30 minutes of where you are. Each result in Eat Now lists the town and how many fast chargers of 100 kW or more are at that location, so you can eat and fast-charge in a single stop.
Drive Charge Eat costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year as an auto-renewable subscription; your local price is shown in the App Store. One Drive Charge Eat subscription unlocks the entire planner, and there is no free trial.
Drive Charge Eat supports most modern electric cars, including Tesla, Hyundai and Kia, Volkswagen ID, BMW i, Volvo and Polestar, Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Nissan, Ford Mustang Mach-E, MG and BYD. You set your model once in Drive Charge Eat and the routing then works from that car's real-world range rather than a brochure figure.
Drive Charge Eat uses open, worldwide charging data from OpenChargeMap, OpenStreetMap and Apple Maps, with Google as an optional extra source for coverage and live availability. Drive Charge Eat requires no vehicle account and no login to read charger data.
Drive Charge Eat works offline for cached maps and the last plan it computed, including a straight-line fallback if you lose signal mid-trip. Live charger availability in Drive Charge Eat needs a connection, because that number comes from a live feed.
No. Drive Charge Eat includes its own turn-by-turn voice navigation with CarPlay, but you can hand any stop or destination off to Apple Maps, Waze or Google Maps whenever you prefer.
Drive Charge Eat plans your trips on-device against open data. Drive Charge Eat does not require an account, does not track you across apps, and does not sell your location.
Battery-aware routing and stops with food, restrooms, and people — never an empty lot. Family-friendly, in 100+ languages.
