Charging time estimates 3x shorter than reality

Bug Reports

I took a trip from Riga to Vilnius. Tempreature minus 14 C. Each of charging sessions took 2-3 times longer than estimate. The one in the screenshot eg took 25min instead of 8. Charging time estimates are much shorter than in reality im milder conditions too

      here is a link:

      https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=21fc0370-02dc-463c-853b-35abc710d421 it estimates charging time for 13 minutes, but given the experience it will be at least 30 min

        Thanks. I can see that you are charging at the beginning of the route and it’s -15 Celsius so it should take a longer time. I will send this to a colleague. I will get back to you.

        We don't take temperature into account yet but we are working on adding that. So

        unfortunately there will be some wrong charging time.

    It’s possible ABRP is not taking into account the de-rating of charging power on cold weathers. It’s usual for cars to charge slower in cold weather. Especially if you don’t have, or have not enabled, winter mode or battery preconditioning, whatever the equivalent for your car is.

      Thank you for the answers. About the first comment: i just provided an example, not a real trip. In reality that charging stop was there after a 150 or so km drive.

      Rui: I understand, but it must be someyhing that the app takes into account, especially because it calculates the route for a specific car the model if which is known. And even so: charging times increase dramatically for all models in low temperatures. For my specific case: charging time was too optimistic in summer as well.
