Better Route Planner, Plugshare and more

[GNiessen]

It is cool to see that I have just over 2000 miles to get home and only need about 8 charges. With most being from 10-20% to 80-90%. So not too bad. Can probably make it in 3 days with a couple nights sleep along the way. [Note: I used the 60kWh model and raised the Wh/mile to 150. So I am probably a bit optimistic on the Wh/mile, but should not need to stop as long for charging].

The car isn’t real yet and they haven’t even finalized the charging standard, there is no point in bothering ABRP until they get close to shipping. It’s a testament to how excited the EV community is about the Aptera that ABRP already lists them but from a practical standpoint it doesn’t matter until somebody can get behind the wheel of one.

Did anyone else notice that PlugShare now has the option to set the Aptera EV as your vehicle?

[old-boot]

Yep, already set mine and set my route from Carlsbad to Williamstown, MA!

[BigSky]

It is not clear to me in Plugshare the range that the Aptera is set up for. It almost seems like it is for 250 miles and it has no DCFC. I hope they set up the other range variants in here to play with trip planning.

[joshua-caldwell]

They have it up to 400mi, but no option for the future 600mi & 1000mi versions. For safety until we know how the milage actually behaves given mountains/heat/cold, I will try recharging every 300mi or so instead of trying to get as close to the limit as possible and just about the entire route will be on I-40 which will avoid the horrendous I-10 going through Louisiana and also avoid most of the cop magnets east of the Mississippi River and further south than I-40 where towns try to use tickets to pay for the government instead of taxes.

I see that ABetterRoutePlanner also has the Aptera Gemini in 25, 40, 60, and 100kWh.

[joshua-rosen]

ABRP has supported it for at least a year.

Which of the Gemini models should be selected for the Launch Edition?

[paul-kirchner]

Is Aptera still developing their own proprietary program for this type of management?

[Biker]

Likely no impact on the underlying ABRP software for a while.

Rivian To Take Over the World’s Top EV Route Planning App – autoevolution

[john-malcom]

The Aptera in ABRP data on ABRP is old and will not reflect the results of delta performance testing. I am sure the data will be updated when available regardless of who controls the application. If, as advertised, Aptera will have access to Tesla chargers, hopefully Aptera will also be able to use the tesla functionality for finding Tesla chargers and rote planning.

[curtis-cibinel]

Unfortunately sites seem willing to add Aptera but not correct the statistics as data changes occur. For MotorMatchup I submitted the updates to the Aptera with the LE stats back in April and it is still pending (also a bug report on some changes no saving).

The question becomes: will ABRP get better or worse for non-Rivian users? The one certainty is that it is not going to stay the same. Hopefully it will become better for the Rivian user base, but even that is not guaranteed.
