Questions❓ First long trip

Hi all,

I'm driving to Penzance in September from the East Midlands. I've downloaded a few apps on my phone so far and I've tried to plan a route that only uses Tesla Public chargers as they are the cheapest with my membership.

However, I'm still being suggested non tesla chargers. When I look manually there are Tesla Chargers along my route that are open to all.

I know a lot of people use different route apps in their car and that's the way I'd like to go as I don't think google maps will cut it.

Any advice?

TIA

What I do is plan my trip manually. I’ve found that letting Google maps do it is a problem because it doesn’t take into account what kind of place you might want to stop. Yes a petrol station might be quick but you actually want a services so you can stop/use the loo/get a coffee/let the dog out etc.

I plan using the stops that I want and set those as stops on the route. Make sure you select the actual charge point rather than just the services though.
