Range - 80%

I use ABRP to plan my charge stops in advance. I’m happy to take it down to around 10% or even less, but I wouldn’t start looking for a charger at that point. I would already know where it is and that I’m not too far from it.
How does ABRP compare to Electroverse, which I've used as an Octopus customer?

I find the route planner element is a better on ABRP.

It allows you to list networks that you prefer or may wish to avoid. I’ve got it set to favour Arnold Clark and Ionity as they are the cheapest, and avoid Geniepoint which is always broken.

Also you can set minimum number of stalls. I’ve got it set to 6 so it favours charging hub type places where you stand a chance of getting an empty unit, rather than single units which have a higher chance of being occupied.

Electroverse still has its uses if you need to find a charger nearby for example.
 
Not with both trips reset though ?.
Your average efficiency has no bearing on the predicted range, after trips has been wiped.
As the car has no historical data stored, it now reads the energy in the pack and as the pack is so new, then you should expect it to read north of 200 plus.
Yeah fair enough, I sort of realised thats what you meant after I made my post. I never intentionally reset my trips, however, hence why i don't recall ever seeing the heinously inflated range prediction. I don't know if it ever happens by itself, but I haven't noticed it.

I'm the same just leave it alone for the most part
 
It’s a useful tool IF you are remotely interested in plotting the long term health of your battery.
It is easy, if not basic way of identifying battery degradation.

Anyone driven the S5 down to 0%?
I'm guessing that it will not have a huge buffer, so you'd better find a charger when you get below 10%.
 
We really should tell @dx4100 what everyone in the EV community calls those gauges that estimate range. Doesn't matter if you drive an MG, a VW ID or a Tesla . . . they are a GOM.

Guess-O-Meter

And its almost always . . a bad guess.
I think it's way more accurate then my Citroen C3 aircross.
