PDXBob Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Description: For all examples below, I am using my Windows 10 machine and the web planner. Example 1: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=01259345-e3e7-4bd0-942d-d5abd927a02c I am still struggling with planning an across the country trip from Portland, OR to the Atlanta, GA area. I pulled this example fragment from the overall plan for simplicity. You can see that the planner ignores the Salt Lake City, UT Supercharger at the expense of a much longer charge at Tremonton, UT and reduced highway speeds. THEN, adding Salt Lake City Supercharger as a waypoint knocks the Tremonton Supercharger out and moves the same problems (charge time and highway speed) North. Example 2: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=f559c234-c2d6-4bde-9424-7d64f9869aa5 THEN, restoring Tremonton, UT to the charging plan results in the "Out of the Way" routing to Evanston, WY described in my previous posts, including an substantial number of additional and unnecessary miles. Example 3: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=772fc414-71f5-4f27-8e9d-87f1282962fe Type: Windows 10 machine and the web planner Link to Plan: See 3 links above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocktroy Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I am running into this now...why on earth would I want to drive 45-60 MPH, pass a supercharger, and stress about making it to the next one. Are we missing a setting like fewest charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBenson Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'm not seeing this, but not using superchargers either. The original poster's examples seem to be working now. I wonder if it is dependent on the details of the charger being passed. Could you provide a current example of charger being passed? I'm still working on how much faith to put in the routes being generated and would like to understand when reduced speeds are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katya-ABRP Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Hi @PDXBob, @stocktroy, @CBenson, This is actually not a bug but a feature The settings option is called 'adjust speed' and can be toggled off / on in: Settings (detailed) > Speed Lowers consumption by lowering speed, thus lowers the number of stops. When the option is turned on, the legs of the route with reduced speed will be orange and you'll see the details on speed limit in the list of stops. However yes, the detour in example 2 doesn't make sense. Likely the planner tries too hard to optimize the SoC for faster charging thus drives further to consume more. Not exactly desirable, we'll have a closer look at this. Update: we discovered the bug causing this and we've had the issue that resulted in the detour fixed. /Katya Edited February 12, 2021 by Katya (ABRP) bug fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danberke Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I'm seeing a similar problem - ABRP is telling me that I can't make it from Twin Falls, ID to Tremonton, UT despite there being a supercharger in Burley, ID that it is skipping. I have all real-time conditions turned off, and my settings allow arrival at superchargers with up to 90% of charge. I also have speed adjusting turned off. So I can't understand why it would tell me the leg is impossible when it clearly isn't. This is using the web app in Chrome on Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXBob Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 danberke, I still see the same problem too. I turned off the "speed adjust" feature that Katya (ABRP) mentioned above, but the problem persists. The one thing that caught my eye, perhaps a misstatement, was that you have your planner set to arrive with up to 90%. Did you mean charge to 90% and arrive at a SOC much lower (10% - 20%)? Other than that, we'll have to wait and hope the programmers figure out why the planner skips chargers. While waiting, I work around by adding the skipped charger as a waypoint.

BB To clarify, I meant that I have the "Charger max SoC" set to 90% which I originally had set at 70%. I thought maybe it was calculating that my SoC would have been over 70% when passing that charger and thus skipped it because of that maximum. But, alas, that change didn't make a difference either. I did use the waypoint solution, but that seems to defeat the purpose of having ABRP tell you when and where you need to charge for optimal travel...
