Check the ABRP website, they have a list of compatible dongles. I'm using the vLinker MC+. It's one of the more expensive ones, but it has the advantage that it doesn't allow just anyone to connect to it should you leave it plugged in. If someone can connect they can potentially do nasty things.

Also be aware that ABRP will not work on the car's infotainment system and you won't be able to use advanced features unless you pay the subscription fee. Personally I don't, as the free features are good enough to calculate a route with charging stops and I'd rather use Google Maps for actual navigation. In hindsight I didn't really need the dongle at all, although it does make it easy to sync SOC etc. with ABRP. I might still try the paid version some day.
