I'm trying to learn how to use it. There are several threads here, but all of them seem to be a year old or more.
So, I have some questions. I do not have the premium plan, nor a dongle at the moment and I would like to learn how to use the basic service.
1. Reference consumption........ Isn't this a hard number to set? Besides driving habits, won't the use of climate control have a big impact on this number? Thereby, you have to change it dramatically depending on the weather?
2. When planning a round trip from home, and your destination, say150 miles away, ABRP suggests you make one stop each way for charging. All well and good. But ABRP doesn't know that I have charging available at the destination. It does appear that you can edit things at your destination, but I can't seem to make ABPR understand that if I got back up to say, 100% at my destination, that I would not need any charging stops. Even when I recalculate, it doesn't eliminate the stops. Even if I select fewer stops. Now, common sense calculations in my head, or on the back of a napkin, tell me I'm going to make it, but ABRP won't eliminate those two stops. Do I just have to calculate two separate trips?
Also..... where it says Charge? Do I put in the kWhr of the charger and then the time? But if you click the little clock symbol, it changes to percentage%. Am I supposed to click in the percentage SOC that I got up to at the destination? No matter what I try, I cannot eliminate the two unnecessary charging stops.
Obviously, I am missing something?????????
