Why does ABRP not respect my preference for Ionna?
I am planning a route from Atlanta to Tampa. My preference is set to use Ionna. With Electrify America in my preferred list. But for some reason, it always sets EA in Bushnell instead of the Ionna in West Chapel. I have to do a lot of research on plug share and Ionna to even know that there was a Ionna close by.
Once I had discovered that there was an Ionna in West Chapel, I added that as a stop. And after t




hat ABRP correctly added that in the route.
Please see the screenshots.
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

This is the link when I add the ionna charger as a stop. This is the desired route.

It seems like the app think that the charger in West Chapel is to is late in the plan and therefor selects the EA charger instead. When you preferred chargers we try to give you them as much as possible but there is some exception.

Linda, I'm not sure that explanation works. When I manually add that destination it gets me there with 10% which is my desired setting. And the previous stop at an EA in Gainesville charged from 27%-64%. So, if it felt that I needed to be more than 10%, I could have charged siem reason.
I didn't mention that on the way back, I was at 50% starting from Tampa and again it sent me to EA at Bushnell. I drove past West Chapel and realized that there was an Ionna there, the next exit (lost 20 minutes because Google Maps for some reason made me take inner routes) and got back to the Ionna charger. There is some bug in the routing which is repeatable. I think the devs should be able to figure this out.
Thanks.
