It's long been a big complaint - the guess-o-meter - across many forums. Nissan made some improvements, supposedly, but I completely agree with your preference. I do my own range calculations. They aren't very accurate either but at least I know my basis. I have a general idea on the miles/kwh

The LEAF has always had an empty-full gauge, consisting of stacked bars on the right side of the screen in front of the driver. From 2013 forward, due to requests from drivers, there's also a numeric battery percentage option that can be displayed in the middle of the driver's screen. You
