ABRP not choosing fastest routes/stops

Question

Hello,

I'm planning a trip from leander Texas to Rockport Beach Texas. When I enter this into ABRP I get this route, which seems fairly reasonable:

 

https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=94e5d5ae-e770-4d89-a52b-dce6666f1a2f

Total time: 4:26

However I notice that ABRP wants me to charge here to 100% (Yuck!) and I noticed there's another fast charger further south in Sequin, right along my route. If I choose this fast charger the total time goes down:

https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=65971ead-11c6-4511-8554-ac43f31c9b81

Total time: 4:20 (6 minutes faster)

It's only 6 minutes, so I don't really see this as a huge issue. But then I plan the return trip:

https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=fed77903-a5a4-4502-9a92-664ef5c1b886

Total time: 5:04 (Whoa!)

Why is it taking me so far out of the way? So I manually add the that fast charger in Sequin (From my 2nd route above) as a waypoint:

https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=b8e327ce-e052-4c2e-add9-b6f4e62a3e92

Total time: 4:28

So if I go with ABRP's suggested route I'm looking at over 5 hours to get home. If I manually add this other charger as a waypoint it's only 4.5 hours...

What's going on here? Why is ABRP so adamant about avoiding this fast charger in Sequin?

Thanks,

-Jeremy
