Terms of Service
Last updated: July 21, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the EVLONGHAUL website and trip-planning service at evlonghaul.com (the "Service"), operated by the owner of evlonghaul.com ("EVLONGHAUL," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
EVLONGHAUL is a free planning tool — supported by advertising and affiliate links that we may introduce — that produces estimated electric-vehicle road-trip itineraries for the continental United States, including suggested driving routes, suggested charging stops, and estimated charging times, based on public data sources and simplified mathematical models. The Service is provided for general informational and planning purposes only.
2. Estimates Only — Not Navigation, Not Advice
Every output of the Service — including routes, distances, drive times, energy consumption, vehicle range, battery capacity, charger locations, charger availability, charger power, and charging durations — is an estimate that may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Real-world electric vehicle range varies substantially with temperature, weather, speed, terrain, payload, battery age, and vehicle condition. Charging stations may be closed, occupied, broken, relocated, removed, restricted, or slower than listed. The Service is not a navigation system, does not provide real-time information, and is not a substitute for your own judgment, your vehicle's onboard systems, or official charging-network apps.
Before and during any trip, you must independently verify your route, your vehicle's actual range and state of charge, and the existence, availability, compatibility, and operational status of every charging stop you intend to rely on.
Do not interact with the Service while driving. Plan before you depart, and pull over safely before re-checking your plan. The Service is not designed for use in emergencies — if you are in danger or stranded, contact emergency services or roadside assistance, not this website.
3. Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge that long-distance travel involves inherent risks, including the risk of a depleted battery away from charging infrastructure. You assume all risks arising from your use of or reliance on the Service, including stranding, delay, towing, missed events, and any resulting personal or financial harm. You are solely responsible for safe vehicle operation and for compliance with all traffic laws.
4. Third-Party Data and Services
The Service displays and relies on data and services from third parties — map, geocoding, and routing providers, charging-station databases (including the U.S. DOE/NREL Alternative Fuels Data Center and Open Charge Map, used under CC BY 4.0), and vehicle data from the U.S. EPA (fueleconomy.gov). The current list of providers is maintained on our Data & attribution page, and we may add, remove, or change data and service providers at any time. We do not control, verify, or guarantee third-party data, and its appearance in the Service is not an endorsement of any charging network, business, or location. Third-party services have their own terms and privacy policies.
5. No Warranty
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY OF ITS OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, COMPLETE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME.
6. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EVLONGHAUL AND ITS OWNER, OPERATORS, AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF TIME, PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, OR FOR VEHICLE DAMAGE, BATTERY DEPLETION, STRANDING, TOWING OR RECOVERY COSTS, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (WHICH, FOR THIS FREE SERVICE, IS ZERO) OR TEN U.S. DOLLARS (US $10). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, these limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless EVLONGHAUL and its owner and operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: (a) access the Service by automated means (bots, scrapers, bulk requests) or exceed reasonable personal use; (b) interfere with or disrupt the Service or circumvent its rate limits or security measures; (c) resell, redistribute, or frame the Service or its outputs as your own product; (d) use the Service for any unlawful purpose. We may throttle, suspend, or terminate access at our sole discretion, with or without notice.
9. Intellectual Property
The Service's software, design, text, and branding are owned by EVLONGHAUL or its licensors and are protected by law. Third-party data remains the property of its respective providers and is subject to their licenses (see our Data & attribution page). You receive only a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial trip planning.
10. Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure
The Service may be supported by advertising and may include affiliate links (for example, to charging adapters or accessories). We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through affiliate links, at no additional cost to you. Advertisements and affiliate links are not endorsements, and we are not responsible for third-party products or merchant sites.
11. Changes to the Service or Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time without notice. We may revise these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 13, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kentucky, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
13. Dispute Resolution; Class-Action Waiver
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You and EVLONGHAUL each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action or representative proceeding. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing support@evlonghaul.com within 30 days of first using the Service, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration.
14. Severability; Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and EVLONGHAUL regarding the Service.
