Thinking of getting the new EV6 here in Finland and test drove the car today. The car itself was a pleasant drive.
However, the route planning functionality seemed a bit confusing: when starting a very long trip (more than the range of the car),
the planner did not automatically calculate the best charging stations, but just shows them along the route and leaves the
choice to the driver to add them as waypoints. All other planners have suggested the best chargers along the route and
planned the route accordingly, with time spent etc.
Or did I just use the planner in a wrong way? Some settings were wrong?
I just tried it intuitively and it left me with a route without any planned charging stops.... this is, in my opinion, quite important "feature" of the car. I don't want to
use external phone apps etc. to "do the math" and just want to drive where the car's systems says it is the quickest/easiest point to charge the car.
