Malok Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) I'm in the process of planning a long trip with ABRP and winter is coming soon. (Today we received our first snowfall of the season here in the mountains of Colorado.) I drive a 2019 Chevy Bolt. While I love the car, especially with the new battery, when I turn on the heat I typically see a drop in range of about 70 miles. When ABRP calculates a route it adjusts the mileage based on the outside temperature. Does this include the drop in range caused by running the heating or is that something I need to manually adjust for? Thanks!

TomTomZoe Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Hi Malok ABRP doesn’t use the amount of extra power of battery heating or cabin heating for the prediction of energy consumption, and it‘s not adjustable. If you use OBD Livedata, ABRP will learn by time that the car uses more energy in winter. The reference consumption value will then increase in winter and decrease in summer. This is my observation with my Opel Ampera-e, sister model of GM Bolt EV. Edited October 13, 2022 by TomTomZoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malok Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Tom, Thanks so much! I really appreciate your response to this question. I'll manually make those calculations then until I get an OBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTomZoe Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 My reference consumption in summer is 159 Wh/km and about 190 Wh/km in winter with cabin heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
