Hi,
ABRP appears to have trouble reversing a round trip that includes a ferry. That is, after successfully planning a trip that needs only a one-way ferry trip, the reverse plan adds a lengthy, unnecessary, and undesirable detour to additional ferries.
This trip,
https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=589069b2-053d-4a11-b6d3-ed90ae1dbed6 , crosses exactly one ferry in one direction only and is is successfully planned when travelling in the clockwise direction, but when the plan is reversed, ABRP adds a long and unnecessary detour that includes two additional ferries. This routing mistake is made regardless of whether the EV has short range (<100mi) or long range (>200mi), so the distance between charging stops does not appear to be the root cause.
Clockwise waypoints (successful plan):
Lynnwood, Washington
Mukilteo-Clinton Ferry (from Mukilteo to Clinton, one way)
Coupeville, Washington
Deception Pass Bridge, Washington
Lynnwood, Washington
Reversing this clockwise plan should have only needed to reverse the sequence of the clockwise plan. Instead, the reverse plan contains a lengthy detour and two extra ferries.
Counter-clockwise plan (undesirable):
Lynnwood, Washington
Deception Pass Bridge, Washington
Coupeville, Washington
Mukilteo-Clinton Ferry
Mukilteo-Clinton Ferry again? ← why did ABRP recommend a round trip?
Clinton to Port Townsend ← undesired detour
Port Townsend-Coupeville Ferry, one way ← undesired detour
Edmonds-Kingston Ferry, one way ← undesired detour
Lynnwood, Washington
For the counter-clockwise route, ABRP should have only needed a one-way ferry crossing from Clinton to Mukilteo at Step #4 and the last leg, Step #5, should have been Mukilteo to Lynnwood.
