(See "Weather" for more information on how this is used. Sample timezones: Los Angeles=PST/PDT; Denver=MST/MDT; Chicago=CST/CDT; NYC=EST/EDT)

(How charged your vehicle is, as a percentage of the amount of the pack that is capable of being used.)

(Combined weight of passengers and cargo)

(Smooth cement = 1.0; concrete with lumpy aggregate = 1.08; bad offroad conditions = 2.0.)

(1.0 means "never exceed the speed limit except for passing or whatnot". 1.05 means "5% more than the speed limit", 0.95 means "95% of the speed limit", and so forth.)

(Same as above)

(Likewise, speed will exceed this for passing and such.)

(Extreme hypermiling = 0.5; casual driving = 1.0; crazy = 2.0)

(The current pressure of the front tires. Be sure to account for both leakage and a change in temperature since inflation! For every nine degrees Fahrenheit temperature rise, add 2% pressure)

(The current pressure of the rear tires. Be sure to account for both leakage and a change in temperature since inflation! For every nine degrees Fahrenheit temperature rise, add 2% pressure)

(How much to optimistically/pessimistically adjust the power the drivetrain consumes. 1.0 = normal; 0.5 = half as much as it should (extremely optimistic); 2.0 = twice as much as it should (extremely pessimistic).)

(Your optimum interior temperature)

(How much of a temperature difference from your target you're willing to tolerate. Set to a large number if you want to deactivate climate control altogether)

(What percentage of your wiper's maximum power setting they're running at; use "0" for off.)

(Headlights will be turned on and off automatically if you use real-world weather; see the "Weather" section.)

(Don't include always-on energy losses such as running lights or in-car computer systems.)

(If you select this, temperature, pressure, wind speed and direction, and other factors will be automatically determined. If the trip is within the next 8 days, actual weather forecast data is used. If not, historical data from "typical" months is used. If you want a "second opinion" on your trip, so to speak, run it a week later or earlier to get slightly different weather conditions.)

(Affects battery capacity, rolling resistance, and climate control. Will not vary with altitude. This value will not be used if you use real-world weather data.)

(Affects aerodynamic drag. Set it to the air pressure where you start; it'll vary with altitude beyond that. This value will not be used if you use real-world weather data.)

(Affects solar power. 1000W/m^2 is a perfectly clear summer day with the sun straight overhead. This value will not be used if you use real-world weather data.)

(Affects aerodynamic drag. Headwinds waste energy, tailwinds save energy, and crosswinds slightly raise your drag coefficient. This value will not be used if you use real-world weather data.)

(Affects aerodynamic drag. See above. 0 means a north wind (wind comes from the north). This value will not be used if you use real-world weather data.)

(The amount of power needed to sustain (not attain) the temperature when it's 75°F colder outside than inside.)

(The amount of power needed to sustain (not attain) the temperature when it's 50°F colder outside than inside.)

(The amount of power needed to sustain (not attain) the temperature when it's 25°F colder outside than inside.)

(The amount of power needed to sustain (not attain) the temperature when it's 15°F warmer outside than inside.)

(The amount of power needed to sustain (not attain) the temperature when it's 30°F warmer outside than inside.)

(The amount of power needed to sustain (not attain) the temperature when it's 45°F warmer outside than inside.)

(Windshield wipers running continuously at maximum speed)

(Normal headlights)

(Extra-intense headlights)

(Self-explanatory)

(Self-explanatory)

(Self-explanatory)

(How many watts the vehicle's solar panel (if present) is rated for. If the panel is curved or angled, lower the official rating a bit. If you have no solar panel, enter '0'.)

(The weight of the vehicle without any payload)

(The vehicle's drag coefficient times its cross-sectional area, also known as "CdA". The "A" in this context must be in square meters.)

(For every meter per second of crosswinds, we add this much to the drag area (in square meters))

(What percent having wipers on full will increase your drag area (such as "30" for a "30%"))

(The vehicle dies if the voltage drops below this point)

(The vehicle is not allowed to charge beyond this voltage)

(The controller will try to prevent the vehicle from going faster than this)

(The rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) for each of the vehicle's front tires)

(The rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) for each of the vehicle's rear tires)

(What the manufacturer recommends inflating the front tires to)

(What the manufacturer recommends inflating the rear tires to)

(How much weight the front tires are individually rated for)

(How much weight the rear tires are individually rated for)

(How many front wheels the car has)

(How many rear wheels the car has)

(Vehicle is prevented from pulling more than this many amps from the pack)

(Any loads that are present nonstop while the vehicle is in operation, such as in-car computer systems, sensors, etc.)

(The coefficient of static friction between the front tire(s) and dry concrete.)

(The coefficient of static friction between the rear tire(s) and dry concrete.)

(How much of the vehicle's weight is on the front wheel(s) when the (loaded) vehicle is decelerating so fast that it has just begun to skid)

(How much of the vehicle's weight is on the front wheel(s) when the (loaded) vehicle is resting on flat ground)

(How much of the vehicle's weight is on the front wheel(s) when the (loaded) vehicle is accelerating so fast that it has just begun to skid)
