We are incredibly proud to release ABRP 6.0, celebrating new features and improvements such as...
Navigation Amenity Search
Together with the Add Stop feature added in ABRP 5.7, we now offer a search for suitable chargers on your route with, e.g., a few restaurants for a lunch break or simply a quick bathroom break. Always be charging!
Live data via Android Auto
Just pair your phone with your car, accept the permissions to get car data for ABRP, and you're off—it's the easiest live data setup so far! This requires a modern vehicle with support for AA data, but more and more vehicles have it.
Pre-trained vehicle trailer and accessory models
Are you planning to drive a camper trailer this summer? ABRP now includes built-in consumption models for common accessories through our vehicle configurations feature. Once you begin your journey and provide real-time data, we will adjust the model to fit your specific setup even better.
ABRP has become an even better charger browsing tool
We now display the charger's opening hours (if not 24/7) and the time of the most recent successful charging session (reported from a user, charger, or vehicle live data) to help you better assess a charger's reliability.
Amenity search while planning
Amenity search while planning has received additional love. We now have a clearer display of the amenities around the charger and more relevant information in the list.
Refreshed iOS widget
Get an up-to-date view of your vehicle connected to ABRP by adding the beautiful iOS widget to your phone.
