Why is ABRP so anti-PHEV?
I understand the purpose of the website is primarily for BEV’s but flat out refusing to allow PHEV’s (with pure EV modes) seems counter-productive to EV adoption. Why make this distinction?

PinnedHi @Evelyn,
We’d of course love to be more inclusive, but at the moment it is not possible.
As you can see in the vehicle request board:
https://abrp.featurebase.app/?b=65b9134517b76409400f094e we still have a long (and growing) list of all-electric vehicles to model. Therefore, we draw the line at vehicles that do not have any alternative fuel.
In addition to this, ABRP was developed purely for all-electric vehicles and does not have any way to handle the consumption of alternative fuel sources.
Lastly, in comparison to some of the requests we get for certain all-electric models, the demand for support of phev/hybrid vehicles does not appear to be that large.
If you’d like to stay updated, here’s an open request you can vote for: Support PHEV / hybrid vehicles
