Car model
If you are logged in you can save your car to your account. If you have the free version you can only save one car. If you didn't save your car in the first step you do that by clicking on your car and then click on Save.
Departure SoC (State of charge)
The battery percent you start with. You need to change this to your car's actual percentage. If your car is connected to an OBD-dongle or a third-party app, this is read through them.
Reference consumption
We have calculated the consumption of each car model through an algorithm. If your car is connected to an OBD-dongle or a third-party app, this is read through them.
By moving the slider you are telling us how to plan your trip. Do you want to stop often and have short charging stops then move the slider all the way to the right to Short but many.
If you want longer stops where you have more time to do something else like have a fika* then pick the option Few but long.
The option that will take you the quickest to where you need to go is the option in the middle where ABRP optimize your stops for the Quickest arrival. *We're a Swedish start-up and love our Fika, read more on Wikipedia. 🇸🇪
If you have a charging card from a charging network you can add it here and then the prices that are connected to the card will be shown in the plan.
Showing charger prices
For some chargers, more than one of your cards can be used to charge. In this case, we can either show prices from the cheapest option or your primary card if you have one.
Plan route preferring charger that is supported by my cards
If this setting is switched on, it we will aim to avoid chargers where you can not pay with any of your added charge cards. Remember that this setting might give you a longer or no plan at all depending on what charge cards you have added to ABRP.
Once you have selected your car, the charging type that matches your car is displayed here. These connector options are currently available in ABRP;
Tesla SC - Tesla Supercharger, the original Tesla charging connector.
Tesla CCS - Tesla Supercharger with CCS2 connector, mainly found in Europe.
CCS - CCS1 or CCS2 depending on region.
NACS - North American Charging Standard. A connector based on the original Tesla connector, also referred to as SAE J3400. Read more.
CHAdeMO - "CHArge de MOve". DC Charging connector being standard in some parts of the world, especially in Asia. Used mainly by the Nissan leaf and some other vehicle models available in North America and Europe.
Level 2 - AC charging, Type 1 or J1772 in North America, Type 2 in Europe.
Here you can select the charging networks you prefer or want to avoid. You can rank them by choosing different settings. Be aware that some of the settings can make a plan not work. For example, if you set Avoid for IONITY and most of the chargers on the route are IONITY you will not get a working plan.
Use real-time charger availability and forecast in planning, if available. This is a feature that can be accessed with an active ABRP Premium subscription or trial.
Preferred minimum number of charger stalls at charging locations.
Destination arrival SoC Minimum percent that you want your battery to have when you reach the final destination.
Charger arrival SoC Minimum percent that you want your battery to have when you reach any charger or waypoint.
Charger max SoC Maximum percent that you want your battery to achieve when charging.
Charging overhead Overhead time at every charge stop. A higher value here will lead to fewer but longer charge stops.
Charger arrival SoC needs to have a lower percentage than the Departure SoC otherwise the plan will fail.
Real-time traffic ⚡️
Use real-time traffic speeds for the first legs of the trip.
Reference speed Speed factor relative to the speed limits or estimated speed of the road.
Maximum speed The maximum speed allowed, even if speed limits allow more.
Adjust speed Allow the planner to lower the maximum speed for individual legs if this is needed to reach the next charger.
Battery degradation Assumed battery degradation of the car compared to a brand new battery.
Initial vehicle temperature Vehicle temperature at the beginning of the plan - accounts for e.g. initial heating.
Extra weight Weight for additional persons or luggage (driver already accounted for).
Real-time weather ⚡️
Use live temperature and weather information
Avoid on route Avoid including highways, ferries, tolls, or country border crossings (alpha) on the route.
