Calibrated reference consumption way off

I just linked my LeapmotorB10 through Leapmotor Mate to ABRP. Everything is working, ABRP gets the real data from the car but something got my attention.

Last day planning a route showed more stops than it should. Taking a look at all the paremeters the "Calibrated Reference Consumption" showed 280Wh/km with a confidence of 68% (low speed), 72% (average) and 61% (high speed).

That consumption is actually really high. My car (including AC) show 160Wh/km after more than 1000km.

How can i fix that figure? I had to go back and use a manual value to the Refence Consuption so its closer to reality

ABRP issues on iOS

What's happening with the ABRP app on iOS? I'm trying to setup routes via the "where do you want to go?" field and nothing happens - no search results, nothing. I can setup a route if I go directly to the end point and select it but clearly it's not a normal behaviour.

Also, from time to time, the in-app windows with the car logo starts flickering out of nowhere.

I'm running it on an iPhone 16 ProMax, with iOS 27 beta 3 - could it be from this? Anyone else has experienced the same behaviour?

I have a second phone, an Android - the app works ok there, none of the above issues.

App not finding anything?

Anyone having an issue with the app not finding any chargers or calculating any plan?

If I put in a trip, it says can't calculate plan. If I search for charging locations around me, finds nothing and there are dozens and dozens around. Not sure if there's something going on.

Confirmed my vehicle is loaded and I have not set any preferred network settings. Was working just fine a month ago

We need an alternative

I need to vent about this app
- Routed me out 15 min when plenty of chargers were available on the highway on my route
- Despite a 100€ investment in a top-notch OBD, I get fantasy range predictions
- The overall estimate on long range is not even close, varies by more than 25%, despite hours invested in trying to fine-tune the app
- The colours used for navigation are extremely poorly chosen, very confusing, compared to all other existing apps
- Integration with my car is getting worse and worse since VW has acquired them
- Still no option to choose a specific fast-food chain when you stop for high-speed charging

We need something much, much, much better.

Wenn ich eine Route auf ABRP erstellt habe, ein Strecke mit Zwischenzielen und Ladepunkten, diese speichere, wird sie mir am nächsten Tag nicht wieder wie eingerichtet angezeigt. Was mache ich falsch?

How to disable alternative route suggestions while driving?

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen an option somewhere to disable this, but I can’t remember where, and I can’t find it now. I’m on ver. 7.1.5.

p.s. when I installed ABRP about two years ago, it worked better than it does today. Then it rarely got soc estimate wrong. Now it’s way too pessimistic. Tells that I will arrive with 1%, and in reality I arrive with 17%, and driving style is identical.
I’ve reset cons. several times over the past month, and it’s the same every time. I initially thought the problem might be data from Android Auto, but it still gets it wrong even without AA, i.e. when I deny access.

It also still occasionally suggests a completely wrong route. For example, a few days ago it sent me down a narrow mountain road that was basically a goat track. I had to turn around and go back, even though there’s a proper fast road that’s only slightly longer.

Sideloaded ABRP - Fail to log in

I managed to successfully sideload ABRP onto my car's modified Android (edit:) 12 system (DiLink 5 on a BYD Sealion 7). The app launches and runs perfectly fine.

The issue I'm running into is logging into my ABRP account. The login process tries to load a webpage (likely using Android WebView?), but this library seems to be blocked by the car's OS.

Does anyone know if there's a way to log in directly within the app without it trying to open a browser/webpage? For example, generating a login QR code natively in the app UI? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Edit / Update: Solution found! You need to install an older version that doesn't use the WebView login first (version 6.1.9 worked perfectly for me). Once you're logged in, you can simply update to the latest version. Huge thanks to u/djnfranca for the tip!

Simple EV Route Planner

I recently bought my first EV, which only has CarPlay and doesn’t include a built-in route planner.

I tried a few apps (including ABRP and ChargingTime), but I was honestly just looking for something simpler. No subscription, works well with CarPlay, and lets me plan a route with charging stops based on how much battery I want left when I arrive.

Couldn’t really find anything that did exactly that, so I ended up building a small app for myself using OpenChargeMap data.

It’s completely free, no ads, no subscriptions, and it doesn’t collect any data. I’ve been using it for a bit now and it does what I need, so I figured I’d share it in case it helps someone else too.

Here it is: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6787438196

Would love to hear any feedback or ideas if you try it.

iPhone app glitches

ABRP app with iPhone 17 iOS 26.6. Anyone seeing these or have a solution?

  1. It will not accept an address to find a route. Literally nothing happens after entering an address and even hitting return (enter). I deleted and reinstalled the app with same result. [There is a workaround for this one: go into edit bookmark screen and enter address; it finds the address and will save it as bookmark; then in the route planning screen, you can use the bookmark to enter the destination.]

  2. With you touch a charging station, either on the raw map or a planned route, the screen flickers relentlessly (see clip). Sometimes I can stop it my repeatedly trying to select something, but sometimes not.

Any way to "reset" account?

Somehow nomater what I do trying to plan routes on the website it now says they can't be done...even going 5-10 miles down the road with 80% start charge.

I don't see anything that stands out as a problem - is there some way to "wipe and revert" my settings to start with a clean slate?

Is there a way to see charge % at given points on a route?

I like to run down to 5-15% and when running it close I set marker points, I.e at junction X of the motorway I need to be at 50% SOC to make it to the destination with 10%, at junction Y I need to be at 30%, etc.

I do this in the app by adjusting the start point and working out the % needed to get to the destination from that point and then noting it down.

Is there a better way to do this? Ideally I'd like to set my route point A to B and then just scroll through the route and it tells me what % charge it thinks I'll have at each given point

Confused how to see leg distances

I'm trying ABRP for the first time in a serious setting. I am in the middle of nowhere in central Ontario making a trip to Quebec City. I have made this trip in my M3 before, but I have lost over 25 km of max range since then, leaving around 300 km at full charge, and I am concerned the routes I'm given.

The first leg of the trip is from the Algonquin Park area to the Superchargers in Ottawa. This is a hilly route and I know it uses a lot of energy, and it is around 250 km so I'm not sure this can actually be done. After that I'm OK, between Ottawa and QC there's chargers all over.

But I cannot figure out how to set this up in ABRP.

For one, how do I set the maximum range to my car's 300 km? I found a setting for battery degradation, but that is in percent. Percent of what? Is it using the original 389 rating, or one of the later battery tweaks? It does not seem to say. And what value do I put in when my current range is 300? 23%?

When I put in 25%, it selected a route along Highway 60, which is fine, but I cannot tell whether I can actually get to the charger it selected in Ottawa. Is there any way to see the distance of each leg? When I click on it it shows details for the entire route, and if I click on the list of items in the bar on the left, it only gives me details about the charger itself. I can't figure a way to select a single leg.

Can anyone offer some suggestions on how to get more detail and cure my range anxiety here?

How to report a missing Tesla charger

Im on a trip that includes the Flight 93 memorial, and abrp doesn’t know about a Tesla station behind the Wendy’s in somerset pa. The app routed me through farmlands to a private pa turnpike access road. With 12% battery it wanted me to drive 100mi to a charger on the turnpike. Stressful! There aren’t many fast chargers in this area.

First Time I've Seen This

My car apparently goes to 11...

I recognize this is a rounding issue but ABRP has always rounded down by 1% relative to the car's display - presumably better precision and/or a decision to round down for anything lower than the full number value. So 100% on the car normally shows as 99% on ABRP.

Why can’t I set charge on departure and charge on arrival in the same interface?

TESLA. I can only set departure energy on the app and can only set arrival energy on the interface in the car, but not both in either place…so what is with that? Am I missing it somewhere?
