Could you build this?
Partial The trip planner UI and routing are vibe-codeable using open APIs, but rated cafés, hotels, and real-time charger availability need curated and proprietary data.
What it would actually take: The core uses routing (OSRM or a commercial routing API), charger data from OpenChargeMap (which is open), and a planning algorithm that sets charge times by battery and vehicle model. Good restaurant and hotel recommendations, ratings, and live availability require licensed POI data or a large curated dataset, which is the hard part.
