Please restore display of charging site full name on route summary screen

Bug Reports

Please restore the display of the full name of the charging site on the route summary screen as that was very useful to quickly determine if the charging location is at a major grocery chain location, gas station, car dealership, or other. Helps to determine quickly what kind of amenities the site may have or if an alternative charger should be looked at for a stop.

In the previous version it would display for example: “Electrify America Meijer 125 (Fort Wayne, IN)”. Seeing this info I would know since it is a Meijer location a major supermarket chain in several states that it will have restrooms, snacks, high safety, etc. and be open typically either 24 hours or late into the evening. Also, helped to quickly identify if the proposed charging stop is a car dealership for example: “EV Connect Frank Ford Dealership” that additional research is required to ensure charger is easily accessible and not behind a locked gate and need to closely review other EV drivers ratings of the chargers and location.

In the new 7.0 version in order to see the full name of the charging site you now have to select each stop on the summary screen to open details of the charging stop. This takes a lot more effort to review if the charging stop is viable or if an alternative should be located.

Thank you.

    Hi @Brian Adams,

    Thank you greatly for this descriptive feedback. We'll review this and see how we can improve from here.

    A first comment is that, currently, some charger names aren't very well organized, as we fetch them from external databases. This often results in very long charger names, adding clutter to the interface. That said, our intention is, of course, not to make ABRP less useful.

    The goal here is to provide a better overview, minimize information overload, and help users select the best alternative quickly. We'll take your feedback into account as we continue to refine this.
