CITROEN has unveiled a new app to help drivers of the e-C4 and e-C4 X electric vehicles plan their journeys.

The new app, called e-ROUTES by Free2move Charge is a trip planner that utilises real-time data from the car and charging points on the driver's planned route.

It will be available via a smartphone app from October this year and is already available via the Citroen Connect Plus Pack.

The e-ROUTES app offers real-time navigation to the driver and uses live data from the vehicle and suggests possible routes according to the availability of charging stations nearby.

The e-ROUTES app is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and to access the services, customers will need to use a MyCitroen account, either through the app on their smartphone or the car's touchscreen, using the mirroring function.
