Live Data

In this section, we'll go over how you can make ABRP an even more powerful tool for EV route planning by connecting your vehicle via a live data source to the app.

Link your vehicle for live data

If you're experiencing issues with the live data connection to your vehicle an option can be to reset the connection. In this article we'll explain how.

Reset your live data connection

My calibrated reference consumption seems off. How can I reset the calibration?

The ABRP app can—for supported vehicle models—connect via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a user-installed OBD BLE adapter in the car. This allows the ABRP app to communicate instantly with your car to read out SoC (battery %) and many other parameters, keeping the ABRP app up to date with your car as you drive. This works for iOS and Android devices and is available for all ABRP users, not only Premium members.

Link your vehicle via an OBD device

In this article, we'll discuss the most common reasons connecting via OBD fails and how to resolve these situations.

Improving ABRP

This has changed a bit over the years as A Better Routeplanner has evolved. Basically, as we want to cover as many charging locations around the world as possible, we use a mix of data sources. Chargers can be added to the data sources, which we then import from. In this article, we describe different ways to get new chargers published in A Better Routeplanner.

How to have new chargers added to ABRP

In this article we explain how you can access the current beta version of A Better Routeplanner on different devices.
