Gives one hope that it'll be a standard long into the future -- and, hopefully, one that gets refined with future generations. After all, it's not uncommon to have gas gauges on ICE vehicles that behave less than ideally linearly due to tank shape or voltage regulation or whatever, but I don't know that it's been a big priority for manufacturers to improve gas gauges over the years. But an EV should have far more than enough computational oomph to do whatever is needed to properly refine a measurement of remaining kWh. If experience shows that the estimate is too optimistic over the bottom quarter of the display range, it's not _that_ hard to initially add a fudge factor to the software...and, eventually, some smart analytics to truly nail it. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
