1. Don't really care for the growing trees indicator, especially if there is no explanation of what exactly it indicates. I don't think it represents the simple sum of regenerative braking energy right? (This is like the "leaf" icons in Toyota Prius.)
2. The big "bubble-style" instantaneous power display... I would prefer a simple pointer (or growing bar) on a graduated scale. (More similar to the "pie-style" energy monitor in the NAV multi-display.) With a smaller numeric display. (e.g. "23 kW") The big power display could also show the contribution from climate control and 12V accessories.
The present bubble-style power display isn't well labelled... A "recycle"-like symbol at the regen end, and "POWER" marked on the right side? I would suggest a bar that grows either side from the zero point, green when it grows left, and white when it grows right.
3. The remaining range meter... I understand the limitations of predicting range without knowing in advance the driving conditions, so I suggest the range number should be de-emphasized.
The main focus should be SOC (confounded by gradual loss of capacity) or maybe remaining kWh, or remaining percentage of 24 kWh.
And/or show a few different range figures based on last 1 km / last 10 km / last 100 km. (or make it user configurable).
