Built-in Google Maps puzzling
Built-in Google Maps puzzling
Sometimes I like to try out road trip planning using the built-in Google Maps. And sometimes what it does is puzzling. For example, on a hypothetical 642 mile trip, one stop at a 350 kWh Electrify America station said I would go from 23% to 58% in 45 minutes. Another stop at an MB 400 kWh unit, 13% to 77% in 1h 23m. Both of these estimates are absurdly long and just wrong. This car can go from 20-80% in 40 minutes, less in ideal situations. I can't figure out what is going wrong.
I used ABRP for the same destination, and used the one that I installed on the car itself (not on my iPhone, in other words), and its route seemed much more reasonable, with total charging time much lower. The problem with ABRP built into the car is I can see the route, I can see roughly where the stops are, but it will not tell you arrival/departure state of charge, etc. You can only do that from the phone.
I've never understood why this software is so hard to seemingly get right by the vendors.
