This enhancement helped and hurt me at the same time!
I have a particularly challenging route in that the last Supercharger on my way home is around 250 miles away, somewhat of a stretch in a Model 3 LR. However, there are 2+ CHAdeMO opportunities, and a meal stop that I've been modelling as being able to do a destination charge at to make the trip doable. Despite the CHAdeMO opportunities, ABRP never seemed to pick them.
Now, under certain (unrealistic) conditions, it does at least select one of the 2 CHAdeMO charging stop all on its own (not the one I would pick--it picked the one ahead of the meal stop, rather than after it which would make more sense).
But the thing that makes no sense to me is that it will only find a route at all if I do the following:
- Set the consumption to an unrealistic 214 Wh/mile (rather than the default 247) (215 does not work!)
- Set the charge to at the meal stop to 90% or more.
Neither of those should be necessary for this particular route. It has me arriving at the first CHAdeMO stop with 78% SOC and charging for 26 minutes to get to 100%.
Then it has me stop at the meal stop, arriving at 88% and charging for 48 minutes to 100%.
And then it has me arriving at my destination with 51% left (I have goal destination SOC set to 5%), so clearly charging to 90% at the meal stop is not necessary, and I suspect a consumption of 247 Wh/mile would work out just fine as well (it's not an issue with the route PRIOR to the first CHAdeMO--there are plenty of Superchargers before that point). And even though I can specify charge to 90% at the meal stop and it works (only requires a 9 minute stop since it only needs to charge 2%), when I change the meal stop from "charge to 90%" to "charge for 1:00", it doesn't work (even though I'm giving it 51 minutes than it needs!)
It's also doing a strange route that it didn't used to do. Despite plenty of Superchargers on I-81 in New York Pennsylvania, it has me getting off 81 to hit a Supercharger on I-80 and taking a minor road to eventually get back to I-81, probably about 90 miles out of the way. I can't make sense of this at all.
If you want to replicate, you can try this:
From: Hammond, NY
Via: Blue Mountain Brewery, Critzers Shop Road, Afton, VA (I set charge at 11kW to 100% here)
To: Del Webb Arbors Drive, Durham, NC
