Some points for clarity: Apple Maps EV routing is very limited to vehicle selection and only works in CarPlay for either Porsche Taycan or Mustang Mach-E as far as I’m aware - there’s no other BEVs that support it yet. You don’t tell it which car you drive because it detects it automatically if it’s one of the supported vehicles. Very Apple. Google Maps in this video is running on my Polestar, not my phone, and the phone app version absolutely doesn’t have EV routing. I don’t believe Android Auto supports a]this either but it may in future to match Apple Maps and CarPlay. You need a car with android automotive OS like my polestar, a modern Volvo, or a new GM product.

I really dislike the tight integration of EV route planning with specific vehicle models, to the point where if you drive any other car, or even try to plan trips outside the car's screen, you get essentially no support. It should really work like ABRP, where you can plan a trip for any car from any client, but with the sleekness and ease of the Google Maps/Apple Maps UI, in contrast to the ABRP UI, which I find buggy and cumbersome. Another pet peeve of mind with EV route planners in general is that they always assume that all charging is fast charging and behave as though level 1 and level 2 don't even exist. Which is fine if you're cannonballing, but there's a whole class of road trips out there for which this type of planning simply doesn't work. For example, I recently completed a 650-mile road trip that involved overnight charges on level 1 at a vacation home in a rural area that's a DC fast-charging desert. None of the route planner tools could handle the concept of overnight charges on L1 at a house that isn't even listed in their database as a charger, so I ended up planning all of the energy management aspects of the trip myself via Excel spreadsheet. In the year 2023, nobody should have to resort to planning charging through Excel spreadsheets. All of the route planning tools, including ABRP, really need to up their game.

EV Route Planners can’t really be evaluated properly unless you use them on an actual long road trip. How does it respond on the fly if traffic changes, or charger availability changes? Does it account for charging time when it plans routes? When you get to a chargers, does it tell you how long you need to be there or how high to charge? I used Apple Maps on a road trip with Mustang Mach-E last year, and it was serviceable, but as you demonstrated, it doesn’t give a whole lot of detail, and it really freaks out if you deviate from the plan in any way.

I routinely use Google Maps in AAOS on my C40 when going from VA to PA/NJ and back again. It accounts for and adjusts accordingly to unplanned stops or detours. It also gives you a how long / what percentage to charge to at stops. I've seen XYZ number of chargers available when looking at details on stops but can't say that I've ever checked for their accuracy or where the data is coming from (API calls to EA?).

Tesla's built in route planner now takes into account wind and temperature when planning. And of course it "knows" the degradation (if any) of the battery. Do either Apple or Google take those details into account? Do either of them know enough about the car's properties to suggest lower speeds (and how much lower) if you need to slow down to reach the next charger (if, for example you are running into a significant headwind?)
@outofspecguide Жыл бұрын
Neither makes speed suggestions but they both use battery monitoring live from the car so they adjust to conditions. Google Maps requires the car to be deeply integrated and be running Android Automotive - it’s not a “bolt on” app. Apple Maps in CarPlay is more complicated and we don’t know yet how it will fully work in iOS 17.

Too bad so few cars can use either one thanks to lack of live data. ABRP has put a lot of effort into supporting multiple ways of getting live data. I use ABRP for my e-Golf and it works pretty well.

Hey Max a very interesting video. You might want to consider making it a series on your channel. Maybe like a Hog Back style test with criteria to meet to get points. Questions like live updates to stations, do they reroute, traffic updates or selections of speed of chargers or networks to use. This testing can also test just basic OEMs route planning too. Since you have access to Tesla I would include as a base what is the standard until they are dethroned . I liked the use of the fixed address like a airport for the testing. Please wipe down your screens before filming too, the dust was harsh in your car's test. You have the potential with a standardized testing to help the EV industry as Kyle did with Hog Back & Rate Your Charge and do I dare say TFL with their trailer towing test up the mountain. Just some food for thought.
