Judging by ABRP, I can't make sense of how this can possibly be the case. When I use ABRP it tells me I could make it from 100% at Kettlemen city, through the entrance near three rivers, all the way to the end of kings canyon, and back to Fresno to charge with 16% left. What do you think the major decrepency is due to? could ABRP really be THAT off?
ABRP is usually pretty accurate for me, provided that I enter my cars consumption of .255 kWh/mi. However I seldom also just drive straight. I make a lot of stops anytime I see something of interest, so that could leave the AC running while out away from the car taking pics or at times doubling back. If the road calls for it, spirited canyon driving as well. Not mention it was screaming hot 107-113 in the central valley that day. That particular day I made a couple of stops on visalia like sitting forever in a drive through, then sitting around blasting ac while transferring pics.
And when I got into the park, I didn't exactly drive straight in and out, I did some doubling back as well. Often predicted regen doesn't regen as much due to various reasons such as faster than expected descent not extra curvy roads.
All in all I like to keep sizeable reserve as I'm not a straight and out type of person.
Just a few days ago I drove straight almost non stop from Mammoth back to Cucamonga and didn't exceed the speed limit more than 5 mph. The chargers were largely empty and didn't have to split power. The time and energy prediction including charging was dead on.
