Incorrect state of charge in Renault 5
Using ABRP as an app on my Renault 5, it reports an incorrect state of charge compared to to the car itself, Enode and Renault’s own application. The battery level is consistently three percentage points too high — or thereabouts; just updated it, and now it’s four…
(I think I’m an internal tester of the app; don’t know where else to report the bug.)
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

I have a similar situation with my ID Buzz. The Soc is always out with the car Soc. I also noticed sometimes you cannot change the Soc in the app when planning a route and when you do for some reason it reverts back to the old Soc which makes your new route plan pointless. Once you start driving it seems to update the Soc but it’s still not accurate in comparison to the actual vehicle %. I think it’s either a bug or a synching issue with the app and the vehicle.

Hi
It seems like you only get data from Android auto right now and not Enode. You can try to disable live data from Android auto and try to connect to Enode again. Please read here how to do that Live Data via Android Auto

The only Android device involved is the car; I’m not using Android Auto, but running the app on the car itself.
The app ought to get the state of charge from the car, regardless of whether I have a subscription — which I do — as it is surely the more authoritative source. My best guess is that it somehow fails to take the small sub-zero buffer in the measurement into consideration.

Yes it’s from Automotive in your car and I don’t think the small sub-zero buffer in the measurement is considered. You can try to add Enode and see if it makes a change.

Just noticed that my subscription expired. I’ll re-subscribe for an upcoming vacation — but that seems unrelated to this bug report? After all, why shouldn’t ABRP be able to obtain the charge correct battery level from the car?

Our system still says you have Premium from App store.
It’s not unusual that the Soc is 1-3% different when using live data.

This getting annoying. I never had any issues while using “live” data — I only had issues once it reverted to using the in-car support. I re-upped the subscription, but that was from within the TestFlight app, so it expires tomorrow. Which is reasonable. I know how to work around that.
