Route on map

Dear ARBP, First compliments for the app, it was very useful during our holiday is Italy and Austria. Two items are probably open for improvement. First the usage of color of the indicated route, and particularly the roads that are of applicable. Please only highlight the the indicated route and not the other roads. The other roads are not important to highlight, it is confusing. Especially the color yellow and orange are almost the same. See attachment, route is going straightforward and it is blue turning into yellow because of traffic. But the road at the other side is also a color, that’s confusing. Second is the delay on roundabouts, probably my driving skills. Keep up the good work. AvE

Quick Access to "Max Speed" Adjustment Directly on the Route Planning Screen

There is already a feature request to automatically calculate the optimal max speed for the fastest travel time (which is a great idea!). However, as a complementary feature, it would greatly improve the UX if users could directly change the maximum speed on the main route planning screen without having to open the vehicle settings menu. Why this is useful: When planning a specific trip, users often want to play around with different speeds (e.g., "What if I drive 110 km/h instead of 130 km/h on this specific route?") to see how it affects charging stops, consumption, and total arrival time. Currently, you have to leave the route screen, go deep into the settings, change the speed, go back, and recalculate. Proposed Solution: Add a quick-adjust element (like a small slider, a dropdown, or a simple +/- field) directly on the route overview/planning screen next to the route summary. This would allow for rapid on-the-go adjustments and instant recalculation for the current trip.

"One-Time" Route Preferences

The ability to easily access the route preferences for “one-time” routing would be nice. Currently it is a bit tedious to get to the preference settings and they stick, so that if you want to do something special on one trip (for example where I live the highway to the bridge I have to cross is often very slow on Friday afternoons, so I’d like to be able to tell ABRP to avoid highways & ferries (so that it doesn’t send me via the ferry) which usually gets me a route via city streets to the bridge) you both have to dig into the menus and then remember to undo what you’ve done. Ideally, there would be a button accessed by tapping the screen that would bring up the preference settings. If possible it would be nice if you could apply those settings and then ABRP would reroute so that you could change preferences enroute if needed.

Bug Report Reminders

When I use the on-screen bug report feature in Apple CarPlay, I get a notification requesting that I also file a bug report here. Two things: First, it would be really nice if ABRP could generate a “todo” list here or an email to the user with the details of the bug. That would help me, at least, to remember to come here and follow up with the details. It would be really nice if the reminder could include things like the time and location to help prompt one’s memory. It would be nice if there was an option to have the bug report button on the screen all of the time, and also an option to not display the reminder (especially if ABRP is able to send a reminder e-mail). I assume that the bug report is more useful if it is made close to the point at which the bug is noticed and that is often at a time when you’re following guidance from ABRP, so the pop-up notification just adds to the driver’s workload. If it is not possible to e-mail the account holder, perhaps it would be possible to queue the bug reports in the app so that we could review them when it was convenient.

Add a "Maximum Cost per kWh" filter for charging stations

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes. With the growing diversity of charging networks, prices vary drastically from one operator to another (and sometimes even within the same network depending on roaming agreements). Currently, ABRP plans the fastest or most efficient route, but it sometimes routes me to charging stations that are significantly more expensive than neighboring options, without giving me a choice based on my budget. Describe the solution you'd like I would like an option in the route planning settings (or under the "Charging Networks" preferences) where I can set a Maximum Price per kWh (e.g., €0.45/kWh or $0.50/kWh). When planning a route, ABRP should: Prioritize charging stations that fall below or equal to this price limit. Display a warning if a route absolutely requires stopping at a station that exceeds this limit (due to range constraints). Describe alternatives you've considered Right now, I have to manually check the prices of each suggested stop on external apps, and then use the "Avoid this station" or "Prefer this network" feature in ABRP to force a recalculation. This is time-consuming and defeats the purpose of ABRP's automated planning. Additional context This feature would be a game-changer for budget-conscious EV drivers, especially during long road trips where roaming fees can spike the price per kWh. Since ABRP already gathers a lot of live data, integrating price caps would make the app even more powerful.
