Schneider's residential unit has a segmented circular display. Schneider calls each segment a "progress indicator".
I was wondering how they expect to get this information, since there is no established way for the charging station to know the SOC of the vehicle.
Turns out it's kind of a hack. According to the user guide, "When the unit is charging the progress indicators will either blink or go solid depending on which hour of charging the vehicle is in"
So there's no correlation between progress indicators and SOC. I don't think I like this. I'd rather have no display than a meaningless one.
