Set your destination (and any stops along the way), pick a van, and we ask the OpenStreetMap routing engine for the real driving distance. Then we simulate the drive against that van's usable battery — adjusted live for how much you're carrying and how cold it is — and work out where you'd stop to DC fast-charge, how long each stop takes, and what charge you'd arrive on. Every trip starts from our Kamloops depot at 100%.
The coloured dots on the map are DC fast-charging locations along BC's main corridors, grouped by network. This is a curated coverage set for planning — always verify exact locations and live availability on PlugShare before you go.
An EV's rated range is measured in mild conditions. In a BC winter — cold battery, cabin heat, snow tires, highway speed over a mountain pass — real range drops, and a heavy payload drops it further. Planning a trip on the summer number is how people end up stranded. This tool factors temperature and load into every estimate and keeps a 15% arrival buffer, so the stop count is one you can trust in January, not just July. Want the detail?

On an eVans BC rental, we do. Charging is included — every van goes out with a charge card that covers public DC fast-charging, so a stop on your route costs you time, not money. Here's how charging a rental EV van works, start to finish.
Estimates are for planning only. Distances come from OpenStreetMap/OSRM; charger locations are a curated BC set and may be incomplete or out of date. Real-world range depends on load, weather, terrain and driving. Confirm chargers on PlugShare and always keep a buffer.
