Stellantis has expanded its e-ROUTES mobile application, designed for full electric vehicles, to include Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, and Lancia, following its successful launch with Citroën in October 2023. The app, now available in all European countries, is compatible with CarPlay® and Android Auto™, providing real-time vehicle data to ease range anxiety by recommending optimal charging stations along any route.
Initially launched with Citroën, e-ROUTES has progressively been rolled out to the electric vehicles of Peugeot, DS Automobiles, Opel, and Vauxhall. As of summer 2024, the app is now available to Fiat (600e), Fiat Professional (E-Scudo and E-Doblò), Alfa Romeo (Junior Elettrica), Jeep® (Avenger), and Lancia (Ypsilon Electric) owners.
