That's the idea behind my suggestion of a "remaining (usable) kWh" gauge, For a century or so drivers have done just fine with a "remaining (usable) gallons of fuel" gauge and a basic idea of how far they can make it on a gallon of fuel based on current conditions. This whole voltage-based thing is irrelevant. What people want to know is how much energy is left, in whatever form, and they're fine translating that to distance with precision enough for typical driving. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
