PowerTrip 4+

I really want to like this. But it keeps holding on to my location services, even though it should disconnect when I close it. I can’t set my real-life consumption so I don’t know whether I’m stopping unnecessarily (and on a recent trip I always had at least 5% more arriving at a stop than planned, albeit in very nice driving conditions). And it keeps wanting me to go via Whanganui when travelling north from Wellington.

Useful as a reference guide for longer trips though can’t be left as the source of truth as the estimated range isn’t always spot on. Possibly a pipe dream, but I’d love the ability to pair with an OBD2/Leafspy connection for real-time consumption data to feed into estimates in real time, and have CarPlay support to have visual on range to destination during the trip. Currently if I want to check on range estimates I need to pull over to recalculate based on my actual battery percentage.
Also seems to show ChargeNet stations and while these are ubiquitous, it’d be good to see other networks visible, along with a toggle for selecting desired charging speeds, eg DC 50kW, AC 7kW.

This used to be a really useful app. It was basic but very accurate and I used it regularly to plan trips. A while back the developer made a number of ‘improvements’ to it which made it really slow and glitchy and I gave up using it. I decided to give it another try and it won’t even load when I open it. I just get an animation saying ‘one moment please’ but I’ve been waiting minutes and nothing is happening. I’ve switched to the ABRP app which is very much like this one used to be, but even better.
