Poll - energy or distance

[RayK]

Don't you kind of get that by choosing distance since the icon shows the approximate percentage visually?

Then that leads to this (facetious) suggestion:

Draw 9 equidistant vertical lines over the distance/energy bar with a Sharpie, representing 10% increments. Voilà!

edit: P.S. I voted "distance".

They're both basically telling you the same thing on a day-to-day basis so I just use the one with more granularity. Plus it gives you some perception in change of overall capacity over the long term.

P3D here.

I like miles much more. I get about 50% of rated range plus a safety margin, thus I divide the indicated in half, and know I have 15 or 20 miles of buffer.

For some reason that's easier than multiplying energy by 1.5x.

So you are going more than 400wh/mi? That's crazy.

Lifetime is 330, thus winter average more so 350. And that is just what it tracks, not including any idle heating or cooling.

I use energy but for us Canucks it's super easy to convert to distance in your head. Go metric system who can't do 5 times tables. The added 5% range is a bit of a bummer on the math.

What's the significance of 5? Is it 500 kilometers on a 100% charge? Sorry, I really should have just googled this

Yeah its dead easy 37% 185km, 62% 310km, 90% 450. I can't even begin to comprehend the miles conversion, multiplying by 3.1?

I just leave the display in miles
