EVtonomy: A Personalised Route Planner for Electric Vehicles

With the continuing growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market, planning long road trips should be a seamless and hassle-free experience for EV owners. Dedicated EV route planning apps have emerged recently as indispensable assistants providing essential mapping and data services. However, EV owners still face a number of challenges when planning their routes to prevent unnecessary delays or expenses. These challenges are not yet fully addressed with current EV planning apps. This paper introduces EVtonomy, an app that assigns an intelligent agent to each driver capable of planning personalised journeys. Specifically, the agent provides routes and charging stop recommendations aligned with the EV owner's individual preferences in terms of trip duration, including both driving time and the time spent charging the car, along with the total charging costs.
