Well, it doesn't have to be called a kwh meter. I could be called a
energy-remaining or, to use the term incorrectly, a power-remaining meter.
Perhaps that's what the optional percentage readout is meant to address
on the 2013/2014 LEAF. I find it to be very useful, along with the
instant and average miles per kWh indicators.

If only, in their focus groups, they had asked the question: would you
rather have an accurate remaining-kwh meter or an fairly inaccurate
remaining-miles meter?
But most of the people in the focus group would probably have said, "A
killerwhat? That sounds dangerous!"
I suspect that only 1% of average drivers could tell you what a
kilowatthour is. The Leaf focus group probably had people 10 times more
likely to be interested in EVs, so they were better; 10% of them knew
what a Kilowatthour is. So they still got out-voted.
