I have purchased a premium account specifically because I travel with a trailer quite often. What do I need for longer trailer route planning? Specifically three things:
Being able to strictly choose routes where I dont have to disconnect the trailer to charge. The best option is a drive through charger, like Fastned has most of the time. However, if i configure a trailer option to my car nothing really happens in the planning. The alternative is then to
a) select preffered networks manually. However, this is not a strict selection: often you still get other networks. I would like to be able to select one network as a must go!
b) use the option “trailer friendly”. I would expect this option to be automatically selected when I configure a small trailer with my car. I dont this works this way, however. And - trailer friendly is a scale, not a YES/NO option. So I basically dont know for sure its a drive through. Others in this forum have suggested to create a boolean “drive through” which I really, really like. I would for sure have me not abandon the Premium function.
Being able to schedule drive range more specifically to trailer circumstances. Nothing changes however, in the Kwh consumption index when I configure a trailer. And the range expected is still the same. For sure or hopefully this will change after some trailer drives due to the automated benchmarking, but still I would like to be able to get better predictions at the start already.
I need to be able to be flexible in my planning - when i charge earlier or later than planned or charge more KwH’s than expected this needs to be change directly in my planning. I dont think this happens.
And then last of all: I cannot show both my time / distance to the first charging stop as well as the time / distance to the final destination in my Apple Carplay screen. And thats very, very annoying.
For all issues mentioned - I have seen other request which I have upvoted. So please consider this summary as input from a trailer driver who just needs a bit more functionality to stick with the premium version of ABRP.
