Crazy Illogical Routes – A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) Review

I don’t know how this app makes decisions but it’s supposed “routes” are nuts. For instance, if I ask it for a route for a Chevy Bolt from Pheonix, AZ to Montrose, CO it wants to route me all the way North to Rte 70, which then requires another 60 minutes to get South to Montrose. Worse yet, this route has distances so close to max range that the app has me going 3 hours with the warning “Fo not exceed 45mph”! If I try to “force” a more logical route through NM and Cortez, CO, it then wants sends me on a completely pointless trip West from Cortez just to charge enough to get… back to Cortez… If I put Durango as an intermediate stop instead, it does the same, except it wants to send me East to Pagosa Springs, to charge just enough to get back to Durango. An app that just showed charging stations would be much preferable to this pointless “trips just to charge to get back where you started” game.
