What settings do you use for ABRP?

[EVer Hopeful]

I'm starting to get the hang of things and I took a look at some of the defaults that ABRP uses. I just wondered if peeps here had left those defaults, in place or had updated the values. For instance:

Reference Consumption defaults to 298 Wh/mi @ 65mph (= 3.35 mi/kWh) ... and which way do you prefer to view it?

Starting SoC defaults to 100%

Arrival SoC defaults to 10% ... I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. Maybe 15% for me

Extra weight defaults to 0 ... does 1 pax really make a difference?

Wind and Temp seem to be available, but not used ... Does anyone set these values?

1) My average is 266 wh/mi over 16K so I don't change it. If mine was higher than default I would, and I view wh/mi.
2) I set it to 90% - if I charge a bit higher that just gives me added margin.
3) This depends on charging availability where I plan to end up for the night or if I plan to drive around the local area before charging for the night so this depends on your trip. I generally don't like arriving with less than 20% though that's not always possible some places in the west where I generally take trips.
4 and 5) I leave at default. Weight, wind, and temp will can make considerable differences (mainly wind I've found but I don't drive in extreme cold) but I always check my wh/mi while driving so I'd adjust accordingly to any current conditions. Plus the in car nav will tell you to recharge sooner if needed so no worries.

Personally I find the in car nav meets most of my needs though I always check ABRP too.

Since I live in an area where there are not that many superchargers (but a few are under construction now), I need to properly plan. I cannot rely on the car changing charging stops. I do input the proper wind and temperature values (I live where it gets real cold). When I do "in advance" planning of a trip, I assume 90%SOC and I default to a slight front-facing wind to err on the pessimistic side, with a temperature that's normal for the season. When I'm close to leaving I'll let ABRP read the real starting SOC from the car and I do input the real wind (using the Windy app) and real temperature. I obviously configure my real speed. This is what gives an almost perfect estimate, way better than the ever optimistic car.
EDIT: I always leave an extra 50kg of weight in the settings, as a small buffer. We always carry a boatload of crap in the car, charging stuff etc...

I would prefer mi/kWh for display and comparison. Seems natural evolution from miles per gallon. Would love to see this as a display option. It’s the same calculation inverted. i.e. 250 wh/mi = 4.0 miles per kWh. Would be very little code change
