Hitting Silverstone next weekend for the British GP and travelling the 215 miles from the North East to Milton Keynes, where I’m based for the weekend.
Due to the various lockdowns I’ve not travelled very far in my Taycan Turbo S up to now and only experienced my first ever Ionity charge last weekend in Alnwick (very impressed).
So playing around with the cars navigation (with the “intelligent” range manager on - PIRM) it is trying to get me to stop off, in town, at the Sheffield OPC.
This seems wrong to me on many levels. Why would I stop off the motorway and drive into town just to charge, when there are so many other independent charging stations along the motorways on route (as offered in ABRP) and do OPC’s actually allow customer charging at their sites?
Just love some feedback on what most people tend to use when planning a long distance route.
For what it’s worth I’m pretty sure I’ll be using the advice ABRP gives me and just programming the various charge stops into the cars Nav as destinations. Although I do appreciate ABRP is working on the car and battery information I’m inputting and using those algorithms to predict a route whereas the cars Nav has that information real time.
Thanks in advance.
