When charging the soc goes up. For exemple, at first the desired Soc is 40 %, then during the charging the soc goes up to at first 41%, ending at 45%. This has happend a few Times. BTW I use evnotify and i drive a Kia E-niro.

Hi Martijn,

does this still happen for you?

Hi. I've noticed that this happens regardless how high the target Soc is. What happend with this last trip is that I skipped 2 chargers because I was on my way home and thought that I might make it without charging. What I also noticed is that when I skip a charger the software tries to send me back to that charger while I know that there is a good charger down the road. It did that some time ago, then it worked just fine and after the update it just works not as good as it used to.
I'm not able to connect my dongle to ABRP directly. I haven't got a clue why. It just doesn't see the dongle when trying to make a first connection.

You need a BLE dongle for ABRP.

Hi! Well what happens is that ABRP tells you how long you should charge and to what percentage before disconnecting, so you are sure that you arrive with enough power left. During the charging process I noticed that the 'end' percentage goes up in the software. So at first it tells you to charge to 30% for instance, then it goes up slowly to 35, 36 % and so on...

I see. Can you check in the app, that your car shows charging correctly during charge stops? If not that could cause the consumption estimation to calculate a wrong reference consumption. For example if Evnotify does not parse the charging state correctly or anything gets lost in the transmission to abrp servers.

Also the plan is updated each minute so depending on weather or traffic the estimated departure soc could increase, that however normally should not go up from 30 to 45% bit only vary in small numbers. 5% difference only is not so unusual though.

But then again I wonder why you have a plan that tells you to charge to 30% only. Are you sure that is the departure soc? It's pretty low even when you consider that the e-Niro does not charge too fast in the upper soc area.

We also offer support for e-Niro in ABRP directly now via OBD BLE Dongle, so maybe you want to try that instead and check if that improves the situation?

Hi Martijn,

to me this sounds like the intended behaviour, when you charge, the SoC increases. So maybe you can describe your problem in more detail so we understand what exactly is wrong here. What is the expected behaviour?
