Our Story
ABRP started because Bo wanted EV road trips to be as simple as they should be. It was 2016, he'd just gotten his first Tesla, and planning longer drives was unnecessarily complicated. So he built something straightforward: plan your route at home, open it in your car's browser, and go.
Other EV owners needed the same thing. ABRP grew organically, shared in forums, passed along in Facebook groups, recommended between friends figuring out this new way of driving. What began as a weekend project hosted in Bo's closet quietly became essential infrastructure for the EV community.
By 2018, the scope had shifted. We founded Iternio to keep ABRP free for drivers while building solutions for the industry itself. Today, we partner with some of the world's largest charging networks and automakers. But we're still a lean team, still shipping quickly, still focused on making EV travel work the way it should.
