I’m personally upfitting a 600 into an RV and would love support in ABRP. I have the extended range version with ~300 miles of range.

Same here. Had Grounded do my conversion. It says “planned” but how much longer?

GMC has been building the Brightdrop for three years and still it’s not available in ABRP. AS OF 2025, GMC has moved them into Chevy, but it’s not listed under GMC, Chevrolet, or Brightdrop. They have a 400 and 600 model.

In terms of individuals using these for long distance (where ABRP is essential) there are companies upfitting these into RVs… ex https://www.groundedrvs.com/
And they are now available to purchase for private use (originally were only available for commercial/fleet customers) and strongly considering one to use as an RV

Just got mine from Grounded. Just upgraded to full ABRP annual membership and was disappointed that BrightDrop 600 is not available.

Adding a similar vehicle and tweaking the limited settings does not inspire much confidence.
For example, I tried using an E-Transit as a stand-in, but the only useful settings I could adjust were Wh/mile and max speed. That is nearly useless for a vehicle with a completely different battery size, charge behavior, weight, aero profile, and usable range.
Why is there no option to build a true custom vehicle profile where users can manually enter, at minimum:
Battery capacity / usable kWh
Charging speed or charge curve
Efficiency in Wh/mile
Plug type
Max DC charge rate
Charging-network compatibility
That last part matters. As far as I know, the BrightDrop only works with Tesla Superchargers that are open to non-Tesla CCS vehicles, which generally means V3/V4 Superchargers with Magic Dock or compatible access. So even if I use a similar vehicle as a workaround, the route planner may still suggest charging stops that are not actually usable.
That seems like a major oversight from a developer standpoint, especially for uncommon EVs, commercial EVs, conversions, and newly released vehicles that are not yet in the database.

I bought one for personal use, 2023 600 awd etj max. 15k miles. $44k before tax and other shit.
I just got the Grounded RV outfitted 2025 Chevy BrightDrop 600 and was disappointed that after having upgraded to the annual subscription that the BrightDrop 600 is not available. What do I do in this case?
