Unlike a general EV charging map, eTrucker combines truck-specific routing with information about access, pull-through charging, overnight parking and operator networks. Its coverage extends across Europe, including the UK.
Charging can now be planned around breaks
Drivers can add stops ranging from a 45-minute break to a nine-hour rest, choose their starting point and rearrange destinations. The route summary includes expected arrival time, distance, breaks and waiting time. Where a trailer has to be uncoupled before charging, the app can add an eight-minute allowance to the journey plan.
This is useful because a charging stop for an electric truck is also part of a regulated working day. A route may look practical on distance and battery range but still fail if charging, waiting and vehicle-handling time do not fit the driver’s available hours.
A new pairing code also links the app with eTrucker Manager. Drivers can then see their fleet’s price categories, the recommended charging card for each site and alternative cards where available. Price filters can be used to hide more expensive locations.
Truck-compatible means more than charger power
A high-power charger is not automatically suitable for an articulated vehicle. Bay length, turning space, height restrictions, trailer access and cable position can all prevent a truck from using a site that works for passenger cars.
eTrucker uses manually checked station information and community feedback to fill those gaps. The update makes that data more useful by combining it with route timing and fleet charging-card information, although drivers will still need to account for live availability and temporary access restrictions when travelling.
