Planning a Trip with bad weather conditions

Last week (October 21 to 22) I took my little Fiat 500e on a 930km Roadtrip (2× 465km).

I run the the Beta Version with Premium subscription and OBD connection.

On the plus side:

• The Android Auto seems to be less resource hungry than it was back in july when I did my last roadtrip.

On the negative side:

• On day one, the weather was bad. We were mainly driving toward west with a strong wind (about 20 km/h with 50km/h gusts) coming from the south west so roughly hitting the car front at and angle of 30 to 45°. Each stretch between charges was roughly 150 to 180km with 15% planned charge level at charging stop. What actually happened is that we ended up having 5 to 10% offset to what was initially forecast by ABRP. We hit one charger with only 5% battery left whereas at the beginning of the stretch ABRP calculated we would arrive at the charger with 15%.

• On Day two we still had strong winds, but since we were heading eastward the wind would hit the car from behind with an angle of 30 to 45°. Even there we reached each charger with 7 to 9% level lower than what was initially expected.

• When leaving a charger the estimated level was ok. We left a charger with 90% charge level, estimated level at arrival was 15%. While driving, the estimated arrival level would stay stable until we had reached about half to two third of the stretch, than it started dropping.

• IMHO ABRP did not take the weather conditions into consideration and/or just stuck with the consumption curves it had since the last 2 years I have been using instead of adapting live to the bad weather. I could understand that it gets the first stretch wrong, but the second one it should get it more accurate.

I hope this feedback will be helpful.
