Calculation of driving time

[Jannis]

Hi there,

I was using the abrp to check the differences in time needed for a specific route with different cars (which I consider buying).
While doing so, I noticed that not only charging times vary (which is expected, since the cars have different battery capacities and charging curves) but also the driving time varies.

For example, here is the route from Bochum (Germany) to Nesmersiel (Germany),

with a VW ID.3 58KWh (driving time 2:49) hIDttpshttps://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=eeb07056-834b-4bd3-b059-96e6ced89f13

with a Opel Corsa e (driving time 3:08) https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=8650dc16-08b1-4644-8a25-e7d95c3b57c2

Same settings, same time, max speed set below of max speed of both cars and of course set to the same route.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the time calculation or is there simply a reason I didn't See?

Sorry if this was asked before. I did a quick look around and couldn't find a similar question.

Best wishes,
Jannis

One route has your max speed be 130km/h the other 160km/h. You should put a max speed before comparing I guess. 160km/h seems a bit high for an EV

@munk thanks a lot, I was sure I checked that - but you are right!

What I was missing is that switching cars resets the max speed but not the charging limits. Therefore I assumed that if the arrival % was still 5% the settings where kept.
My bad thanks for clarification!
