VoltWagon Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (I tried sending this question to Support 6 days ago and haven't heard from anyone, so I'll try the Forum.) I upgraded to the Premium version to get a more accurate estimate (in advance) for the amount of charge that is needed for a particular trip. In the Settings, I have set up a couple of configurations: Cargo Box (top of car) and Bikes on Back. When I use the Cargo Box configuration, I'm surprised to see that the estimated charge needed for the trip is actually LESS than it is when I select the Standard configuration. I must be doing something wrong; can someone please point me in the right direction? Perhaps ABRP does not really take configurations into account when predicting estimated charges, but instead does on-the-fly calculations when the vehicle is actually traveling? Here are all of the details in case this helps: My configuration: 2021 VW ID.4 Pro AWD 77kWh ABRP Premium version 4.3.5(2057) Vgate VLinker MC+ BLE+Bluetooth My sample plan: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=720a70d8-0b69-4518-abde-b0e363bccdae Battery usage for the above plan with Automatic Settings turned on, as calculated by ABRP: Standard configuration: 52%, based on subtracting the 20% ending charge from the 72% starting charge. Cargo Box configuration (cargo on roof): 49% Bikes on Back configuration: 49% Rechecking Standard configuration again, it’s now 49%. I’ve noticed a lot of random variation, but after I go through the cycle a couple of times, all three configurations seem to settle down to identical values. This does not seem to make much sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
