Features
48-Hour Departure Scanner
Enter your destination and Tailwind Drive samples the wind forecast along the actual driving route, matched to the time you'd pass each stretch. Every departure hour up to 48 hours ahead is compared, and the windows with the least headwind and calmest crosswind are highlighted with an estimated energy impact in plain numbers.
EV Range Impact in km or mi
Headwind quietly eats range, and on gusty days the effect is real. Enter your EV's rated range and Tailwind Drive turns the forecast into an estimated range impact in kilometres or miles — not vague warnings — so you can pick the departure window that might let you skip a charging stop on a long trip.
Crosswind Alerts for Big Vehicles
Driving a camper, a van, towing a trailer, or carrying a roof box? Side wind is a stability issue, not just a fuel issue. Tailwind Drive rates crosswind exposure segment by segment along your route, tuned to your vehicle profile, so you spot the risky stretches and hours before you're on the bridge fighting the wheel.
Wind on the Route Map
Your route is coloured stretch by stretch — green tailwind, red headwind, amber crosswind — with wind arrows showing direction and strength at each point, at the time you'd actually be there. A segment list breaks out head, tail, and cross components with gusts and timing.
Profiles for Every Vehicle
EV, petrol car, SUV, van, camper/RV, car with trailer, motorcycle — each profile has its own aerodynamic sensitivity, so the estimates match what you actually drive. Choose your units (km/h, mph, m/s, or knots) and save your regular trips to re-check the wind in two taps.
One-Time Purchase, Private by Design
Pay once and it's yours. No subscription, no ads, no account. Your saved trips and vehicle profiles stay on your device; to get the forecast, the coordinates along your route are sent to Open-Meteo.
The same road can cost you 10% more fuel — or 10% more battery — depending on nothing but the wind. Tailwind Drive reads the wind forecast along your entire route, hour by hour, and tells you the smartest time to leave.
