Show HN: EV range calculator – range circles and charger map (700 models)

1 point

I built EV Mapping to answer the question EV owners actually ask: "Can I get there and back without charging?"

You pick your car, drop a start pin, set your current charge %, and hit Compute Reach. You get two circles — outer for one-way range, inner for round-trip — plus all charging stations within reach as pins. Click any pin to open navigation in Google Maps.

Stack: vanilla JS + Leaflet, no build step, hosted on Vercel. Charger data merges OpenChargeMap and OpenStreetMap Overpass with deduplication. 700+ EV presets across 20+ markets (US, EU, India, China, AU, etc.) synced every 12h via a Python pipeline on GitHub Actions.

The catalog pipeline ingests fueleconomy.gov, afdc.energy.gov, cardekho.com, and greenvehicleguide.gov.au, plus region-native seed files. It has anti-regression guardrails and a canary→stable promotion workflow so bad syncs don't silently ship.

Feedback welcome — especially on range accuracy and charger pin coverage in non-US markets.
