Missing setting for maximum SoC / Upper limit for charging
I never want to charge over 70% when traveling, my car is exceptionally slow comparatively after 70%. The new version 7.0 doesn't seem to allow me to configure 70% as an upper limit for a route. This is a huge loss of functionality and I will no longer be able to use the app because it won't plan routes the way that I would execute them ever.
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

PinnedHi @Robert G & others,
We hear you, and we’re currently discussing how this should be handled in the new settings structure.

I also want to see this planning feature come back. Having a route planned that includes the need to charge to 95+% is not a route plan I want to use.

Plans that include charging stops up to 95+% SoC should be very rare and only occur in situations where there’s very little access to charging along the route. We will normally divide the charging sessions into stops that utilize the fastest segment of the charging curve for your selected vehicle model. - This is one of the founding principles of ABRP.

“only occur in situations where there’s very little access to charging along the route” … this is unfortunately not true. On route Geneva - Prague the planner included stop to charge to 100%. Even though there are very many superchargers available. I did this route several times, so it is experimentally confirmed that there is no need to charge to 100%.

@User please quote me correctly. As stated:
“Plans that include charging stops up to 95+% SoC should be very rare and only occur in situations where there’s very little access to charging along the route.”
‘Should’ is an important word in the above sentence; if you see examples that diverge - feel free to submit a ticket so that we can examine the plan and find what constraint is causing the choice to charge up to a higher SoC.

The point is that the planner was working perfectly fine in the previous version. So the current problem must be somewhere in the updated algorithm. I planned exactly the same route a few days ago before the update and it worked perfectly; now it suggests charging to 100%. The same car, similar weather, all chargers along the route working as before.
ABRP is really a great piece of software, and we would all like to see it working well again.

Then please submit a separate ticket including the plan link so that we may investigate :)

It is a disaster now. ABRP is frequently telling me to charge to over 90% in the new version. I’m not going to sit another 30 minutes just to get from 80 to 95% or so. That is a waste of time and ABRP should know this.

Missing setting for maximum SoC
Hello
Since updating to 7.0.0, one of the most important settings is missing!
Where can I set the maximum percentage of SoC I want to charge to?
ABRP suggests 12-98%!!!
But I only want to charge to a maximum of 60 ... 70 ... 80%!
Please fix this urgently, otherwise my subscription will be terminated after 2 years.

It was better before because we could change the time that we want to start the trip and the day. Than in eache stop we could change if we want to charge more minuts or have a biger pause for sleep or something else. Sorry but sometimes i wonder if the people that make this kinf of changes are using the app to plane trips, long trips.

Bring back max SOC setting
Version 7 no longer has an option to manage max SOC. I had it set to 80% in version 6, but now I regularly get charging recommendations that are well over 90%, which I want to avoid. This regression significantly reduces the usefulness of the planning process.

For me, it charges for a maximum of 19 minutes or from 15-50%.
It's a shame that you don't correct this again.

Why isn't this being fixed? Not a single charging stop goes beyond 53%, even though 80% is set. I don't really care, since I canceled my subscription after 4 years.

after 1 month no changes …. 15-50% charging stops
no charging stop is over 50%
