How your stops are planned
Fuel stops compare fill cost and detour. Charging stops depend on your battery and compatible plugs.
The road route
Choose your start, destination and toll preference. EV plans use road distances to check your battery at each stop. Petrol and diesel searches may show a labelled approximate corridor when road routing is unavailable.
Petrol and diesel costs
Stops are ranked by the reported price for your fill size plus the fuel used driving to the station and back to the route. A slightly dearer station on the route can cost less than a distant low price. Only prices FuelRadar updated in the last 14 days are ranked.
Battery and charging stops
Enter your usable battery, consumption and compatible plugs. The planner checks your reserve between stops and estimates charging time from your vehicle and the listed charger power. Weather, queues and actual charging speed can change the trip.
Check the final stop
Open each station before leaving. Check fuel-price update times or charger access and directory dates. Confirm charger operation with its network; the directory does not provide live bays or current tariffs.

Route planner questions
Check the data and estimates behind your fuel or charging stops.
Where do the station prices come from?
FuelRadar uses supported government programs, retailer reports and station reports. Coverage and update frequency vary, so check the time shown for a station before making a detour.
Can I compare a toll route with a toll-free route?
Yes. Run the route with tolls allowed, note the distance and drive time, then switch on Avoid toll roads and run it again. When a road route is available, FuelRadar reports detected toll-road sections but does not calculate the toll fee.
Does the trip estimate include every driving cost?
No. Petrol and diesel plans estimate fuel cost. EV plans estimate driving and charging time, not charging cost because current tariffs are not supplied. Toll fees, parking, traffic delays and vehicle wear are not included.
Does the planner know whether a charger is available?
No. Open Charge Map provides listed equipment, power and access conditions, not live bay availability or queues. Check the charging network before travelling and keep a reachable backup in mind.
Can I add several destinations?
EV journeys can include up to three waypoints. The petrol and diesel comparison runs between one start and one destination.
