Feature Request: Prefer Plug & Charge (ISO 15118) Charging Stations

Dear ABRP Team,

First of all, thank you for creating such a powerful route planning tool. I use ABRP Premium together with an OBD adapter and appreciate the detailed planning capabilities.

I would like to request a new feature related to Plug & Charge (ISO 15118).

Requested Feature

Please add one or both of the following options:

  • Filter: Show only charging stations that support Plug & Charge.

  • Preference: Prefer Plug & Charge stations when generating routes, while still allowing non-P&C chargers if required.

Why this is useful

For drivers with vehicles that support Plug & Charge, the charging experience is significantly improved:

  • No RFID card required.

  • No mobile app interaction required.

  • No QR code scanning.

  • Charging starts automatically after connecting the cable.

  • Faster and more reliable charging stops.

  • Better user experience, especially during long-distance travel.

As Plug & Charge adoption is growing rapidly across Europe, route planning based on this capability is becoming increasingly relevant.

Possible Implementation

A simple implementation could be:

  • β˜‘ Prefer Plug & Charge chargers

  • β˜‘ Only use Plug & Charge chargers (optional)

The feature could rely on charger metadata indicating ISO 15118 / Plug & Charge capability.

Bonus Idea

Since many users have multiple charging contracts, it would also be useful if ABRP could combine Plug & Charge preference with existing network preferences (for example IONITY Passport, Electroverse, Kia Charge, Elli, etc.).

This would make route planning even more accurate and closer to the real charging experience.

Thank you for considering this feature.
