When I use the planification and I search a specific charge station I would like to add a stop to it this is the first result but it doesn’t take the charge into account

Hi @Kiki,
Did you add this charger station as a waypoint?
Please provide a link to the plan where this occurs. To do this;

Can you explain what the difference is between chargers with square brackets around their names and those without? It seems to me that if I plan a route with a square bracketed charger, ABRP recognizes it and uses it as a charger, but if I plan a route with a charger that doesn’t have a bracketed name it is just a stop on the route and even if charging is needed it won't be used.
In this case ABRP has the charger listed twice, but there are some chargers that are only listed by their address (for example the EVgo charger at 1222 NE 102nd Ave, in Portland, OR) without square brackets and it is really hard to add a charging stop at those chargers when you’re driving.

Do you mean the one at the top “IE Charge?” I’ve noticed that it seems like “real” chargers have square brackets around their names. Like the [Mobilize Fast Charge] stations. The chargers without the square brackets seem to be just an address…
I’m not sure if that is because something is coded wrong in OSM or OCM or what. But it does seem like you can (sometimes) click on the charger icon in the map view and then select it as a waypoint (or maybe also click the Navigate button in the details pane) and then it will be recognized.
The clicking works in the web version of ABRP, but I haven’t figured out how to do it on my phone or in CarPlay when I’m driving.

Here are examples:
This one goes first to an EVgo charger without brackets, EVgo 1112 S M St in Tacoma, and then to a Tesla charger nearby: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=83725f22-c69a-4031-a9e3-50850e59c31a
This one goes to the same EVgo charger with but with brackets, ([EVgo Safeway Tacoma], and charges there and then goes on to the destination:
https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=4c182a15-f3af-4af7-b2e2-c6b861258606
