Rivian acquired the company behind ABetterRouteplanner, a popular route planning app used by EV drivers, the company confirmed<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Rivian didn\u2019t disclose financial terms of the deal to buy Iternio, the Swedish company that developed A Better Routeplanner, otherwise known as ABRP.\u00a0 The acquisition was first reported earlier this month by Electrek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ABRP, a consumer-facing app that calculates the best route for EV drivers, using information about the vehicle, weather conditions, traffic and real-time charger data, was started in 2016 as a hobby project by Bo Lincoln, who went on to found Iternio<\/a> in 2018. While ABRP has a popular following, the real value for Rivian is Iternio\u2019s EV planning API and cloud service for businesses. The largest customer of the API is ABRP.<\/p>\n

ABRP will remain a standalone app, CEO RJ Scaringe said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Better Routeplanner leads the way in EV trip planning and is an important platform for driving EV adoption, which is why it\u2019s so important for us to keep the platform open for all,\u201d Scaringe said, adding that Rivian will integrate ABRP\u2019s capabilities into its upcoming trip planning release.<\/p>\n

Iternio\u2019s EV planning API will be integrated into Rivian\u2019s app and its infotainment system. The technology has been integrated in Polestar 2<\/a> since 2021.<\/p>\n

The data captured by the technology will also provide insights on where there is insufficient reliable charging and help Rivian\u00a0strategically plan where to prioritize building its Rivian Adventure Network,\u201d Scaringe added.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes less than a week since Rivian said it would adopt<\/a> Tesla\u2019s so-called North American Charging Standard.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
