The short version

Planning an EV road trip usually means keeping a route planner, charging apps, a food search and a navigation app in sync, then redoing it when the battery, a stop or the day changes. GYST puts those decisions in one iPhone trip plan: compatible charging stops with charging time, arrival battery and estimated cost, useful stops ahead on the route, and a battery estimate drivers can correct as the trip unfolds.
