I'm trying out ABRP for the first time and I'm noticing that, in Texas USA anyway, that it often takes a longer less efficient route than what might be otherwise possible. I was assuming that a tool like ABRP would choose routes based on distance and elevation gain/loss, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I'm also a bit flummoxed by the estimated consumption of 4.69 miles/kWh... Under settings is lists the "reference" at 3.33 miles/kWh at 65 mph. These roads all have speed limits of 65, 70, or even 75 mph. So the average consumption should be *less* than 3.33 mi/kWh yet somehow it's estimating nearly 4.7?
Hello there,
I'm trying out ABRP for the first time and I'm noticing that, in Texas USA anyway, that it often takes a longer less efficient route than what might be otherwise possible. I was assuming that a tool like ABRP would choose routes based on distance and elevation gain/loss, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Take this plan for example: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=45ba5eee-ecee-4d93-8be5-7c9dc0dff953
ABRP wants me to go 66 miles, hit Google's route would only take 54: https://goo.gl/maps/3PrECJSoxD2hq2ta8
I'm also a bit flummoxed by the estimated consumption of 4.69 miles/kWh... Under settings is lists the "reference" at 3.33 miles/kWh at 65 mph. These roads all have speed limits of 65, 70, or even 75 mph. So the average consumption should be *less* than 3.33 mi/kWh yet somehow it's estimating nearly 4.7?
