You can always try contacting them but I wouldn't expect anything useful from them on this. With done luck they fix it over a few months with another firmware release.

Hans, i see some requests on the ABRP (a better route planner) forum for support for Zero motorcycles.
I'm now discovering the ABRP a little better and it seems a very nice planner for electric vehicles. They even have a "live data" api where a secondary app (ZeroNG ) can upload SOC (and power and more) data to the ABRP servers so it shows in the app and it can dynamically update the calculated SOC on arrival.

I have really no idea what is involved in sending that data (and which data) to the ABRP planner but on a high level it works by generating a "token" in the ABRP app, that token is then used by to identify the vehicle. the ABRP already has a profile for Zero (in alpha development)

In order to use ZeroNG with ABRP it would require ZeroNG to update the SOC periodically in the background.
Consider this a feature request for the ZeroNG app


BTW i'm still on V17 firmware and SOC updating is still available and accurate. I've had a few prompts to update the firmware but i just dismiss them until Zero sorts out the mess they made with the remote function, they call it "effortless connection" LOL. effortless from Zero it seams. I REALLY cannot understand that it takes months and months for even a small company to revert firmwares to a previous correct working firmware. V18 and V19 both break the cellular connection.

Hi Remmie I haven't used a better route planner so I'll have to check what and how. Should be doable to have just that token entered optionally by users and if in place push that information from a service in the background. Or even just on command depending on what works best. I'll look into it.

Yeah I wish mine was still on version 17. I kept it at that myself but then a dealer did the update for me to 19. He probably was just trying to be helpful. But since then the only working part of the remote Connect functions has been those gps points. All the other info is broken.

Zero will have a look at my bike next time it's at a dealer. I don't expect much from it since its clearly firmware related. Some are talking about a config field on ccm level that has to be updated to REG but mine is still on REG. I've seen other bikes with PEND but those don't even get GPS points logged.

Darn! I didn't know that, and I am now sorry to confirm, with V19.
