Jason - if following the manual test procedure, wouldn’t it also be useful to report the weather conditions at the time the test was conducted?

Also, could you perhaps outline which car models you don’t really need any manually collected data for - i.e., because you’ve already got sufficient data and/or there are enough people providing automated live data? For example, would it still be beneficial to provide manually collected i3 data even though automated live data collection is now possible?

Thanks

Also, it might be worth noting that if people just set their cruise control at a given speed (eg 60 mph), then the actual speed they are travelling at could vary by a few mph depending on the car model due to different levels of speedometer accuracy between manufacturers.

So it might be worth advising people doing the manual test procedure to set their cruise speed based off a GPS speedometer (eg Waze) in order to eliminate that variance.

Hello, to provide live data for a 40KWH leaf is it sufficient just to have leafspy running, or is it necessary to be logged into the ABRP app at the same time ? I am registered already with ABRP.

Leafspy has to be configured to upload data to ABRP using your account. That‘s all.

 

Hi guys,

do you plan to share submitted data to community, to also do own modelling and learn things? This would be really useful. I.e. I do have a program that does try to predict optimal cruising speed to maximize long range trip effective speed. (including charging time and charging curves), but to make it effective one needs to know the power usage at any given speed. A github repo with some curated data point would be really awesome for research and discussion.

I would also suggest to add few fields to the notes in the table:. Which car exactly is used, i.e. motor configuration, battery size, age of the vehicle, tires used, wet / dry condition, is it raining, outside temperature, is AC / heating on, is there extra cargo / weight in the car, any other high power devices on (i.e. laptop, fridge, non-standard lights).

Cheers,

Witold

 

Is there a possibility to check how far a specific model is going from Alpha to Beta etc.?

I have setup my car to be live everytime I use it to contribute with data.

@Jason-ABRP I may be missing something but how do we set up live data? I have the tronity app and it's connected just fine but how do I get it set up to pass data long to ABRP.

Another question around vehicle specifics is wheel size. With the BMW IX these affect range...how do we account for that in ABRP?

I would like to help for BMW CE04 what can I do?
