Jornee vs Chargemap for finding stops on your route

Works for cars, HGVs, motorbikes and EVs

01

A charging planner vs a full corridor search

Chargemap and Jornee overlap on one job and diverge on the rest. Chargemap's route planner is completely free and plans EV charging stops along a route, drawing on its large community-maintained charger database. Its scope stays there: charging is the only category it searches, aside from a filter for restaurants near a charger. Jornee searches a route for 10 stop categories, fuel, EV charging, food, toilets, rest areas, and five truck-specific categories including truck parking and weigh stations, then ranks every match by how many minutes it adds to the trip. An EV driver on the A2 between Amsterdam and Eindhoven who also wants a toilet stop and a place to eat gets one ranked list instead of two separate app searches. Neither app provides turn-by-turn navigation. Both hand off to your phone's GPS app once you have picked a stop.

When Chargemap is the right tool

Chargemap is the right choice when charging is the only stop you need to plan. Its route planner is free to use and draws on one of the larger community-maintained charger databases, covering plug types, connector availability and user-reported charger status across many countries. For a trip where the only open question is which chargers sit on the route and whether they support your connector, Chargemap sequences those stops well, at no cost. Its restaurant-near-charger filter covers the one adjacent case, pairing a coffee break with a charge, without needing a second app for that pairing alone.

When Jornee is the right tool

Jornee is the right choice the moment a trip needs more than charging. A driver on the M6 from Birmingham to Glasgow who wants a proper meal stop, a toilet break, and to know which HGV-height services are ahead while towing gets all of it in one ranked list, sorted by detour minutes, filtered by vehicle profile. The same 10-category search runs on the A2 in the Netherlands, the A7 in Germany, motorways in Belgium, and French autoroutes. Truck drivers get five dedicated categories, truck stop, truck parking, truck service, weigh station and truck fuel, filtered against height, weight, length, width and axle limits set once in a vehicle profile. Jornee's free tier includes a daily search quota with no card required. Heavier use moves to a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is Chargemap free?
Chargemap's route planner is completely free to use for planning EV charging stops, with no paid tier required to plan a route or search its charger database. Jornee's free tier also requires no card, but is limited to a daily search quota rather than unlimited use. Both apps offer a genuine free way to plan a trip, scoped differently.
Does Chargemap find fuel stations, food stops or toilets?
Chargemap's route planner searches for EV charging stops only. Its one adjacent feature lets you filter chargers by nearby restaurants, but it does not search for fuel stations, toilets, rest areas or truck amenities as separate categories. Jornee searches 10 stop categories on the same route, including fuel, food, toilets, rest areas and truck-specific stops, ranked by detour minutes.
Does Jornee provide turn-by-turn navigation?
Jornee finds and ranks stops along your route. Once you pick one, it hands off to your phone's own navigation app to guide you there. Chargemap works the same way: it plans which chargers to visit, then hands off navigation too. Neither app replaces your GPS app.
Can Chargemap filter stops by truck dimensions?
Chargemap's charger search does not include truck-specific filters such as vehicle height, weight, length or axle count. Jornee's vehicle profile lets a truck driver set those dimensions once, then filters every stop, including five truck-specific categories, against what the vehicle can actually use.
Which app should an EV-driving trucker use?
Jornee, if the trip needs both charging and truck-specific stops such as truck parking or a weigh station on the same route. Jornee's vehicle profile combines an EV connector match with truck height, weight, length, width and axle filters in one ranked search. Chargemap covers the charging half well but has no truck-dimension filtering, so a trucker would still need a second tool for parking and service stops.
