Why can I not plan a route / does my plan fail?You may be given an error message such as; “Planner server error” or “We could not calculate your plan” etc. These are indeed not very specific because in most cases it isn’t very clear to the planner how a route could be made possible. The most common settings that make a plan fail: When you have selected a car, a type of charger is selected automatically. Sometimes you need to add other types of chargers such as CCS or Level 2 to make the plan work. Have you chosen to prefer or exclude a specific charging network? Changing the setting to “Prefer” rather than “Use exclusively” will often be the solution that makes a plan work. Have you added something in the settings for “Avoid on route”? For instance, some routes may not be possible to plan without making use of Highways, Ferries or other alternatives that one may choose to avoid.

How can I save or edit addresses for Home and Work?You can save two addresses to easily be accessed as Home and Work. Input any address just like you would when planning and make sure the planner finds the correct location on the map. Then click the input field again. Now click the “SET” button next to ‘Work’ or Home’. If you’d like to change the locations you’ve set as Home or Work, first delete the currently saved address by clicking the ‘X’ to the right of ‘Home’ or ‘Work’ in the list. Now you can type in an address in the input field and save a new location the same way as initially. Does the place not have a street address? Then you may instead drop a marker on the map. This is done by right-clicking on the map in the web version or long-pressing the screen in the iOS/Android app. Once the marker is placed, you’ll get the option to ‘Set as Home’ or ‘Set as Work’.

What kind of chargers can I use?Tesla Tesla has two kinds of chargers. The old one is Tesla SC and the new one is referred to as Tesla CCS. Tesla SC is used in the United States and Canada and Tesla CCS in Europe. If you have a CCS outlet or a CCS adapter you can also charge at other charging stations that have CCS chargers. Some countries lack Tesla chargers so you need to add CCS chargers to your settings to make the plan work. In some cases, it is also needed Level 2 chargers. Other EVs Most cars have CCS outlets. These cars can use both CCS chargers and Level 2 chargers. In some countries, you can also use Teslas CCS chargers. Some cars like Nissan Leaf, Peugeot iOn, Citroën C-Zero, and Mitsubishi i-Miev are using CHAdeMO chargers.

What is 'Reference Consumption'?The reference consumption value in ABRP is a base value measured at a constant speed of 110 km/h (or 65 mph) in near perfect conditions (wind, temperature, road etc.). When we calculate a plan for you, we'll take into account the elevation changes, temperature and speeds throughout the route to estimate your consumption on top of the already calculated reference consumption throughout the route. Reference consumption can either be displayed and entered as: A) Energy consumption per driven distance unit Wh/km @ 110 km/h or Wh/mi @ 65 mph B) Distance possible to drive per energy unit km/kWh @ 110 km/h or mi/kWh @ 65 mph Bear in mind which unit has been selected when manually adjusting the value. Typically the value for unit type A would range between 100-350 depending on the selected vehicle while unit type B normally should have a value between 2-5. The unit type can easily be changed by clicking the displayed unit and the entered value will automatically be converted.
