[QUOTE="stanwagon, post: 22747, member: 8361"] OK. Do I take it you have an Equinox EV? If no, none of this is relevant. If yes, you might be interested in a couple things. When I start driving I immediately go down 800 feet. There is regen of course. One of the charts says that I regenerated 2.7 miles and that appears to be based on the default 3.2 mi/kWh. But then the listed rate is this same 3.2, or that bopped up a bit. But this make 0 sense because for the trip so far the rate is negative. GM refused to allow owners to think about negative numbers. Well, I have become expert in all this and wrote a generally accessible paper on the subject. If you care you can get it at stanwagon.com/public/MHArticleProofs.pdf It is definitely an interesting area of study, both for mathematicians like me, and automotive designers. Tesla takes a completely different approach. In short, there are a lot of problems with the display, but with some care one can deduce what one wants. All this can be somewhat important since if, say, I have gone down to Denver I need to make sure I have enough juice to climb back to the 11000 ft tunnel to get home, and for that the mileage estimates will be completely useless as it is a climb of over 7000 feet.
