A cheapest route, with some minimum charging speed options would be great, for example, 100kw flo chargers in new brunswick are $20/h, the electrify canada chargers around here are .6/kwh, meaning the flo chargers are like a third of the price. It would be awesome to have a cheapest route option

Routing for cheapest price / Sync with CPO's
It would be nice if there was a way for ABRP to take in account what the vehicle needs and provide routes that might be cheaper.
Maybe allow us to sync up our accounts from multiple CPO’s so we can get updated pricing while mapping out road-trips.

Cheapest route should also account for the cars charging rate. A faster charging car will take advantage of faster chargers when billed per hour than when billed per kwh. A slower charging car will likely be better off at chargers that just ensure the car can attain its charging rate while these chargers if charging per kwh may be cheaper for these cars.
Ie, if 1 car can charge at 240kwh and another at 70 kwh, and the charger bills per kwh, then both cars will pay the same amount. If the price is elevated because it is a faster charger they still pay the same price. But if the charger bills for time usage, the slower charging car will pay significantly more than the faster charging car, and at the premium price the charger may be billing at because it is one of the faster chargers.
For my ioniq 5 I am typically better to off to use a very fast charger which bills per hour or minute, even though it may be a premium price. With my kona I am better off choosing a 50 to 100kwh charger which bills per kwh at a lower rate than the 350kwh chargers.
