A Better Routeplanner (ABRP)

The only thing that kind of works is the routing itself. But in my testing I was suggested chargers which are well known to be unavailable. Also, I added my car which is 800v and all the charging times it shows are wrong. For example at a Supercharger it shows I’ll get max charging speed.. in fact I only get 125kw which means it’ll take about twice as long. Also I decided to try premium. When attempting to interact with any premium feature in the app, it literally did nothing. Tap a button like “Connect with Enode” it just does nothing. I ended up profiling the app and it seriously is a button that does nothing. Then I tried to delete my car. The delete button also literally does nothing. Wanted to love this app but it seriously has functionality that seems to not exist. Wait wait.. hold up. Deleting the app and reinstalling seems to have gotten everything working now.. still not a good look.

Please bring back the charge station icons. It is incredibly irritating to have to tap on every plug icon to see which charge company runs the location.

This app has been out for how long and it always has bugs. You’d think for a subscription based app they’d have it their act together.

I paid for an annual subscription in January. It worked great with HondaLink for about three weeks then it stopped working and a BRP support is blaming Honda link. But my HondaLink app has actually been working much better than before with quicker updates ABRP no longer provides me updates to my mileage battery percentage so essentially useless for why I purchased it. I would not use if you’re a Honda owner. locating charge centers works really well. That’s a positive.

While overall, the software is ok, it keeps defaulting to Stadtwerks Sennal for the cost per kilowatt. Even if I input Tesla Owner card. This is true for Tesla Superchargers as well as other stations. VERY frustrating.

I just want to set my home location and have been trying for hours but cannot find out how to do it. Very poor documentation and online help.

7.0.x is cleaned up considerably. It generally functions well. But it still misses on some things. I set 20% minimum SOC at charger arrival and it still generates scenarios where the charge is 10% upon arrival. I really don’t like this. I’m paying $4.99 a month for the premium version. What good is it if I have to throw out half the route options?

ABRP was never pretty but it was incredibly functional and provided great insight into the state and capability of your EV(s). With V7 much of this is gone and as a result it’s no longer worth the annual subscription fee.

This is just what I needed to plan trips in advance and be more informed.

Really disappointed in the removal of the “more stops, less time at each charger” to “less stops, more time at each charger” slider. This was my favorite feature and primary reason for using ABRP.
