Planning a trip and destination doesn't necessarily have an EV charger

Questions

I’m exploring the use of ABRP as I’m about to pick up an EV6! I wanted a general plan to a friend’s place 4+ hours away that we’ve visited before, because I was curious what stops would be needed. ABRP seems designed to leave me with X% at the “destination” without regard for whether there’s an EV charger at the destination. There isn’t.

Is there a good way to tell ABRP that I would like to plan my trip so I can go home, too? It seems it should leave me with a little more charge at the destination, OR tell me “…and when you’re ready to leave, you can charge HERE.”

It just occurred to me I could “add a stop” and literally COULD tell ABRP that I want to go home, too. But as a novice EV driver, I’m thinking I’d love to know for sure that I’ll be able to leave my destination when it’s time to go home, and safely make it to the next charger.

    Hello @Mark H. Anbinder,

    If you want to change the time that you leave, the easiest way is to add the stop again when you plan the route.

    Afterwards, you plan the route and change the time by pressing the legend showcased to the right of the arrival time for the destination. From there, a menu will be shown where you can change the preferred SoC when you arrive, as well as departure (picture below showcases instructions in circles and marks)
