A BETTER ROUTE PLANNER: HOW TO USE IT AND HOW ACCURATE IS IT?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer explores the functionality and accuracy of 'A Better Route Planner' (ABRP). While ABRP is praised for its detailed planning capabilities, factoring in topography and customizable settings, the real-world test on a journey to Winchester proved less accurate than predicted due to unforeseen roadworks, accidents, and heavy rain. The reviewer notes that ABRP's predictions were conservative, leading to a higher-than-expected remaining charge upon arrival. The video also touches on the Kia Niro's driving experience, particularly its auto-regen feature, and a successful charging session at an Ecotricity station. Despite the accuracy discrepancies in this specific test, ABRP is recommended as an invaluable tool for EV planning, offering a more reliable estimate than in-car systems, especially when considering potential worst-case scenarios.
