This is helpful for planning fire station coverage, assessing access to public transportation, and even planning a travel route for your electric vehicle\u2014the focus of this blog post.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Electric vehicles (EVs) have revolutionized the way we commute by offering eco-friendly transportation options. However, planning trips for electric vehicles requires careful consideration of the availability of charging stations and range limitations. This process can be simplified by using the Generate Travel Areas tool now available in Map Viewer. This blog post will explore the value of this tool and demonstrate how it can be used to generate travel areas for your electric vehicle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Generate Travel Areas tool serves as a solution for individuals and organizations looking to streamline EV trip planning or to assess the range of your vehicle. The tool enables users to visualize areas within the EV\u2019s range, and it can identify charging stations within those areas. This allows EV owners to confidently plan trips while ensuring they have access to charging stations \u2013 preventing them from getting stranded along their route. Let\u2019s take a look at how you can use the generate travel areas tool for this purpose.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Scenario<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You are a new EV owner on <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the island of Newfoundland <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">and you wan<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">t <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">to know where you can <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">go with your new car to ensure you will have access <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">to charging<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> stations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2044642,"id":2044642,"title":"map-newfoundland","filename":"map-newfoundland.png","filesize":156849,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/analytics\/streamline-your-electric-vehicle-travel-planning-with-generate-travel-areas\/map-newfoundland","alt":"Map extent centered around the island of Newfoundland","author":"344002","description":"","caption":"Map extent centered around the island of Newfoundland","name":"map-newfoundland","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2044602,"date":"2023-08-08 15:34:12","modified":"2023-08-08 15:34:47","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":400,"height":413,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","medium-width":253,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","medium_large-width":400,"medium_large-height":413,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","large-width":400,"large-height":413,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","1536x1536-width":400,"1536x1536-height":413,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","2048x2048-width":400,"2048x2048-height":413,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","card_image-width":400,"card_image-height":413,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/map-newfoundland.png","wide_image-width":400,"wide_image-height":413}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Solution<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To use the Generate Travel Areas tool, sign into ArcGIS Online with your ArcGIS organizational account and import your data into Map<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Viewer.
