Target charge bad math

[AliRafiee]

I needed to charge on my way back from Canada last night. After I lugged in I started the built-in nav to see how far I was from home. The nav said to charge to at least 67% but the IPC said charge to 40%. The nav was more right than the IPC.
I charged to 60% and got home with 11% to spare.

I was averaging 1.9 miles/kWh

I'd definitely go with the Nav under such a situation.

Notice the checkered flag on the IPC. Doesn’t that indicate the charge remaining when you reach your destination? Although in this context, I’m not sure how it comes up with a number???

I’m really liking the ABRP premium with obd connection. Really provides very close to correct battery usage and charge target. Just took a trip to Waynseville NC from Augusta GA and it was within a percentage on predictions

It means charge to that line to get to your destination. If I was to leave right then, the remaining charge level at my destination would have been negative 30%.
