JagLar Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Description: It would be really useful to further define preferences for charging providers. For example, when you set a provider such as Ionity you may have a subscription which reduces the fees charged which is limited to a country or group of countries. It would be good to limit your preference in this case to specific countries. Some other apps (thinking of one which combines the sound of a cow and mobility) show the charging fees (per 10 kWh) for different charging cards. Its great to have an overview of the price variation. Plugsurfing at Ionity costs over 1 Euro/kWh whereas Punktladung is around 50 cent. It would be great to be able to add your specific charge cards to your profile. Your routing would then properly display the cost of the suggested charging stop. Further, it could be defined in the options to define your your route based on cost or perhaps just quickest charging time.

Katya-ABRP Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi @JagLar, We do offer the possibility to set preferences for different networks. You can find this in: Settings (detailed) > Battery & chargers > Network preferences Regarding prices, we try our best but currently we simply don't have the data to display all prices or prices based on certain cards. It is however something we'd like to improve in the future /Katya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are planning a cross border trip then it might be useful to avoid the same networks outside of your home country. 1 minute ago, Katya-ABRP said: Regarding prices, we try our best but currently we simply don't have the data to display all prices or prices based on certain cards.

Definitely! And as long as the chargers actually belong to the same network in our database they should still be avoided. Which network(s) does this concern? 38 minutes ago, JagLar said: When you say "don't have the data" do you mean access to that data? Is it somehow restricted? We do integrate with some networks, for statuses etc. but not all providers are keen on sharing their data. Otherwise pricing data isn't exactly restricted but the sources where some can be easily obtained usually aren't maintained very well and are therefore likely to be inaccurate, hence we think it is best to leave it out. Prices for different cards just makes it even more of a jungle. /Katya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWE-Go card in Germany has a reasonable reduction to 50 ct per kWh. Cross the border into the Netherlands and card doesn't seem to work with Ionity. Then I would switch to Fastned, possibly Allego, which works with EnBW. Concerning charger status, if you set a route does the app dynamically adapt if the proposed charger becomes occupied?
