I am on the fence on which I like....PERCENTAGE is what I have currently but knowing the miles/km left could be nice too, but psychology may mess with me when I start to see that number get low.

Do you display range (M/KM) or battery percentage?

Percentage, always. Range is too variable based on a number of conditions (driving style, highway/city, temperature) and I just don't worry about it.

How do you handle your ICE car now? I always show range. True, I also have a gas gauge,, but I rely on range much more. I would rely on whatever you use now.I am on the fence on which I like....PERCENTAGE is what I have currently but knowing the miles/km left could be nice too, but psychology may mess with me when I start to see that number get low.
I think that is why I use percentage...kind of like a normal ICE gauge...but its just an adjustment overall going away from ICE which I am loving so far.

I started with range, but as I got a better feel of this, I switched to percentage. I think for trips, I will go back to range but daily driving its not needed.

For daily driving, it doesn’t matter. I use percentage because I saw a lot of posts here about people seeing the range change while they were driving and becoming alarmed about something that is just an estimate based on previous driving. Mostly I do slow drives to work, so my range is normally huge. That doesn’t help when I am taking a trip because the energy consumption is completely different.

My 2003 BMW shows both fuel level (obviously) and range in miles. And I find the range indicator more useful than the fuel level gauge.
darn - waited too long to edit
I have the display set to range - but when you use the nav it still shows percentage in its estimates which is really annoying.
It would be nice to be consistent.
On that subject, it would be great if you could choose your own warning limits.
Turning the battery indicator to yellow (from green) with 60 miles left (I guess 20%) is a bit annoying
