How does the SOC calculate the Climate Control Range?

[spike09]

I have noticed that the SOC still shows a range reduction when the Climate Control is on but not drawing power.

This happens when you turn off the AC but leave the Climate Control on. This puts the climate control into a "Vent mode" letting the fan blow unconditioned air out the vents. This is very useful in temperate climates. The problem is that the SOC still calculates a loss of range but the Energy Usage Screen clearly shows the Climate Control gauge is at zero.

It's not an SOC... it's a guess.

It is slow to update its range estimates.

SOC does not change appreciably by toggling Climate Control on and off. the GOM does. if you are on the energy consumption screen (ECS) you will notice that it takes several seconds for power usage to ramp up when using heat which is in fact highly unlikely. an electrical element ramps up within a few seconds which accounts for the immediate adjustment on the GOM (this is estimated range aka ; "guess o meter" )
