Search threshold (default 30%)
When your estimated SOC along the route hits this level, the planner looks for DC stops. Lower threshold = later stops (riskier). Higher = earlier stops (safer, more time charging).
Wh/km makes this accurate
Brochure range is optimistic. Enter your average Wh/km from past drives — presets pre-fill for Nexon, Punch, etc. — so arrival % on each stop card is trustworthy.
