I am less inclined to use the non-Tesla stalls because of the payment complexity
and then pop outside to see what charge I’ll have / where I need to charge etc etc.
I always use the built-in sat nav. It preheats the battery on time and takes the occupancy of the chargers into consideration “en-route”. Something ABRP doesn’t do, and also can’t be bothered with planning chargers before I get in the car. This has never let me down in 18,000 or so miles of driving so far in a SR+.What do people use for route planning?

Would be interesting to repeat the trip with a “mixed” fleet of EVs.
Though these times only apply if all the chargers function as intended ... a good possibility for the Tesla but rather unlikely for the others.I think it makes a difference when I take a longer journey. If I just have a slightly-out-of-range journey I rarely plan beforehand ... but going to, for example, the Alps where I am going to overnight somewhere along the way (or even if I just want something other than a motorway-cafe for lunch) then being able to do some WhatIf and figure out a sensible place to stay, as well as whether there are alternative routes that I might prefer to take on a journey that long - a more scenic route perhaps.
You could simulate that in ABetterRoutePlanner (if nothing better to do for an hour or so!)
