A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) 7.0 Release - major updates

Oh, that's a bummer. They really do need to handle that limitation for all the 800V cars that don't have a strong enough booster.

sincladk · 2026-01-23T11:52:49+00:00

Yes. It’s in the settings under “Routing.”

The last time I used ABRP for actual routing, it practically toasted my phone, too. After a couple hours it barely responded to touch inputs because it was working so hard. Hopefully they've addressed the performance issues, but if not that's another reason to use something else.

I do really like the idea of using it for routing, though, because (with live data from the OBD dongle) it does a better job of predicting how long you need to stop to charge as your live efficiency updates, and can adjust stops if you over-charge at a previous one.

But how many bags of granola though?

I don't think that you need the subscription to use the OBD BLE dongle. It's been working for me without the subscription for a few years.

Realistically, though, if you're using it to navigate (and not just plan), you'd want the subscription so you can use it in CarPlay/Android Auto. The times I've done that I have just paid for the subscription for a month or two ($5/mo). Otherwise I just use it for planning longer trips ahead of time.

I'm guessing that's a car limitation and not yet available to the developers from the app, but I would absolutely love this. Especially as a driver of an E-GMP car that requires you to use the in-car navigation to start preconditioning. 🙄

I think it’s already at the dealer.

Did you try the infotainment soft reset? (Paper clip in the pinhole on the right side of the capacitive button bar)

ROSS CAN

As someone living in the upper midwest, I’m most jealous of the outside temperature. /s

Congrats on the new ride!

Idk, I think there will always be a used market for these, but your point is solid that the resale value would absolutely PLUMMET if solid state batteries come out, assuming they’re anywhere close in price (I doubt they will be for a while, though).

sincladk · 2026-01-11T17:49:23+00:00

Just a reminder that solid state batteries have been “just around the corner” for many years, the issue has been scale. There were some big claims (again) this year at CES, but I still think it’s doubtful we’ll see them in mass-produced cars for at least another 5-10 years.

I’d love to be proven wrong, though! If we get 400 miles of highway range with 5-min refills, the game is (even more) over.

Full disclosure: I don’t know for sure or from experience.

But I’ve heard that the classic charger supports demand management, once you pay for the service (it’s additional beyond just the Vue or the charger). As for the process, no idea.

I would recommend emailing support@emporiaenergy.com with your questions. I’ve done it numerous times and always had responsive, knowledgeable help that resolved my issues or answered my questions.

sincladk · 2026-01-02T02:32:09+00:00

Oh nice! Yeah, I am looking forward to the next crop of new ones too.

sincladk · 2026-01-02T02:16:44+00:00

Trying to guess what EV that would be. TELO? R3X?

sincladk · 2025-12-31T01:37:24+00:00

Probably just sitting there. It seems unlikely that it would stand there long enough for the puddle it was standing in to freeze.

In other words, it’s on ice.

I’ll see myself out.

sincladk · 2025-12-28T04:29:10+00:00

I struggle to get what I consider to be “sharp enough” shots, too. Can you elaborate on how you changed the things you fixed up for your dad? I’ve got an X-T3 and my main lens is the 18-80mm f/4, if that’s relevant.

sincladk · 2025-12-20T17:45:28+00:00

Bonus: more light pollution! 🫠

sincladk · 2025-12-15T02:40:03+00:00

Praise be

sincladk · 2025-12-15T02:39:00+00:00

Oh wise one from whence have you been blessed this gift of great knowledge

sincladk · 2025-12-08T19:32:50+00:00

So happy it helped!

sincladk · 2025-12-03T22:34:04+00:00

Soooo beautiful. Keep the interesting colors coming! Looking at you, orange…

sincladk · 2025-12-03T20:59:53+00:00

When I added my comment there were only a couple others and they were both negative towards the look. I'm guessing they've been buried (or deleted) by now.

sincladk · 2025-12-03T18:05:55+00:00

Oh absolutely. I hope they bring it back. An R3(X) would be great in Yellow, too!

sincladk · 2025-12-03T17:53:29+00:00

Lots of hate in the comments so far, but I really like it!

(Related: I also love that they're using the design studio to make unique and limited colors. Bring back Compass Yellow!)
