Manual setting of the battery departure percentage to 100%

[J-Dub]

I couldn't find this answered using the search so sorry if it's already been discussed. Is there a way to manually set the departure percentage to 100% when trying to plan a trip? I'm only at 30% currently so it's not very useful to plan ahead.

It doesn't appear that you can override this. The Gravity manual notes that an EV route is "customized to you and your vehicle in the moment". If your car is currently sitting at 30% SOC, the navigation system assumes you are departing immediately with 30%.

That's what I suspected. Thanks. Hopefully they can add this at some point. I think it'd be a useful feature.

You are much better off using ABRP (A Better Route Planner) for planning ahead. That's exactly the purpose of this app/program. You can set the departing % and the arrival %.
It's helpful and interesting to see different routes, etc.
I like to export the plan to Excel, then print it out as a baseline. Much of the time, I'll end up using different charging stops but it gives me a good starting idea and usually is pretty close.
Full disclosure - I drive aggressively, so I don't get the typical range expected by ABRP.

I thought I recalled you could tweak some of the settings like, hey I only get 1.5m/kw or some such

I just used ABRP extensively on my road trip and it was great. You can actually go in to your saved vehicle and adjust the efficiency to your actual numbers to have it be more accurate with range.
