How can I override Auto Add Charging Stations?

[Gil]

I just took a long trip (350 miles each way) and, as expected, the car performed beautifully. I drive reasonably fast and didn’t expect to get my full 515 miles of range, but there was plenty to spare.

There was a problem, though. The navigation system is extremely conservative about telling you when to charge. (Understandably!) So it added charging stations that I knew I was not going to need. Is there a way to override this, or delete them from the route? I couldn’t find one!

Of course you can just continue past the suggested charging station and force the system to recalculate. I did that—and then you have to do it again and again.

One problem is that the car announces that it is pre-conditioning the battery in anticipation of the charging stop, and I can’t find a way to prevent it from doing that.

Another is that, near the end, when it can find no more charging stations, it gives a dire warning of Insufficient Charge (again, understandable) and also CANCELS NAVIGATION! This is not understandable. I still want to know my distance-to-destination! I was actually forced to use my phone for navigation.

I appreciate the charging-aware navigation, but it is too aggressive and bossy. Are there some options that I‘m not smart enough to discover, to prevent that?

Can I re-emphasize this question? Is there really no way to delete or change charging stops that the navigation system adds automatically to your journey? It can be quite a nuisance, and it seems inconceivable!

I do hope I’m being stupid (which is all too possible).

I was trying to figure that out myself and if I remember there was some YouTube person that also had that problem. This might actually not be possible with the current software.

We gave up... we use https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ to plan our routes that require charging. We then use the car's nav to get from where we are to our next planned charging location.

On my trip I occasionally wanted to stop at an earlier station (either I wanted a break or I felt like that stop was cutting it too close in battery % for my comfort) and just had the car NAV to search for one on the route. I would add that as a charging stop. While it did not delete the pre-programmed one, after my charging stop, it recalculated where I should charge next, either making it to my waypoint without another charge or changing the pre-programmed one to something further out. I have also had the car change the charging stops mid-route if it saw that my range was not going to suffice.
