Flamboyant Dutch personality Vincent Everts interviews Jason Rapp at the Fully Charged Event in Austin, Texas., Jason is the American side of the duo that developed A Better Routeplanner (ABRP). Everts explores why Jason and his partner Bo developed the route planner and what makes them different from all the others. See Why Abetterrouterplanner is much better. How did Jason make it, future plans, business model & more.

Jason is an avionics specialist with mission control on the International Space Station. He's clearly no slouch. ABRP is his side gig. Jason drives a Bolt, but the planner was originally developed for Tesla users in Sweden by Bo. Unlike some other planners, ABRP has data for Chevy's Bolt as well as other non-Tesla vehicles.

This is the only thread I found, with digging forever through search pages, that seems to be about ABRP directly so,
I have been using it for trip planning on recent trips and it's estimate of battery usage are spot on. Always within a couple of percent. If you are honest about you expectations and input the proper parameters it's very accurate. I have studded snow tires on my Leaf SV+ at the moment so I always enter rain and snow as weather conditions. That seems to compensate for the increased rolling resistance of the winter tires.
A hearty thanks to the folks that made this happen. They have a voluntary donation system which is great as you can give a bit when you use it.
I hope they keep up the great work!
Thanks,
Greg
