Rivian to acquire ABRP (A Better Route Planner)
The deal could close in a week – or it might have been completed as this goes to print. Sources...
Sources tell Electrek that Rivian has been in talks to acquire the world’s most popular EV route planning service, Sweden-based A Better Route Planner (...)
We’re also told that Rivian has no plans to shut down either the front-end service for other EV owners who still want to use the service for their non-Rivian EVs nor the back end service for other carmakers and services. Polestar and some European brands currently use the backend service native in Android Automotive.
Seems like a great purchase, in terms of being able to utilize their data and the usage patterns of everyone on the app. Not sure how it will affect the end-user :-/
