Create a new route

As described in the route introduction, the first thing you will need to do is fetch a route ID. This route ID can then be sent to subscribe to route details and retrieve a polyline and other route data.

Mutation

To get a route ID, you will need to provide us with EV details and at least a departure location and destination. Apart from that you can also support any of the options that are described below.

Support alternative stations along a route

If you want to request alternative charging stations along a route, you can set the stationsAlongRouteRadius property of the route mutation. The radius can be set between 500 and 5000 meters. This will return all applicable stations within the set radius following the specified powers and standards.

Support stations as waypoint

You can add a station as a waypoint or as a destination. To do this, add stationId to routeRequest.via.properties or routeRequest.destination.properties.

Get additional properties

Our route destination, origin and stations have an optional properties attribute in any of our route queries. You can use this to fetch a complete address, the current temperature (temp) and air pressure at that location.

Note
You can only query for a preferred operator when it’s been set by a Chargetrip employee. You can contact us to do so.
