    A Better Routeplanner [ABRP] made corrections to their CT models

    ABRP: I was doing a *bunch* of testing with CT AWD Dual with and without the Range Extender. The charging results (start & end SOCs) didn't make any sense to me. I reported the problem with an example and ABRP/they got back to me today that they fixed it. BOTTOM LINE: if you have tried A...

    I've had it happen a fair amount more on v11 than v10. It seems to correlate with how well the lanes are "defined".
