Orange roadway on route

[Senator]

What is the meaning of the orange roadway on a route map?

[Ou Boet]

It means that the distance travelled is not comfortably within your vehicle's range and you will need to drive slower than the posted speed limit to make it to the next charger.  If you click on the section that's orange, you will see a plot of elevation and SoC along the route and also a recommendation on the speed to drive.  To avoid this, you can charger more at the start of the section, or add another stop on the route.  However, depending on charger availability and there power in the leg, it might still end up taking more time than driving slower.

Hi @Senator,

@Ou Boet is correct about that we're planning with a decreased speed for this leg of the route. However, the way to avoid it is to disable the "adjust speed" option in settings under 'speed'.

When the 'Adjust speed' option is enabled we will try to produce a faster plan by decreasing speed for select legs of the route in favor of lower consumption and need for charging.

Thanks very much to both responses. Very helpful.
