Suggestions:
1. Like the helpful miles/kWh that you have after the DTE on Screen 3,
you could add Max-Min temperature after the Battery Temperature.
2. A mode-change function could be added to the Histogram screen,
with the default mode being Auto-Center (what you do now), and
the second mode Sliding-Center, where you just freeze the horizontal
axis. Then, the user could see the distribution slide to the right during
Regen or Charging, and slide to the left as more power is being used.
Yes, one has to handle the histogram bars being off-graph, but you
are probably handling that already, for the simple Auto-Center mode.
The mode-toggle "button" could be the center of the display, a real
visible button over the SOC, or even touching the SOC text "box".
3. Or, you might have a more creative method of handling buttons,
like... any touch in the non-Button area of the screen brings up
the active buttons over the screen for several seconds, giving
the user real feedback on what can be done (like the now-hidden
"buttons" to change screens), including the histogram mode-change.
4. A helpful mode change for the Bars screen would be a mode
to freeze the vertical axis of the plot. As it is now, the axis jumps
with each refresh of the data, and it is really difficult to get a
good idea of what is happening with the cells.
Of course, you might have to trim the data to fit the frozen
vertical axis, and probably turn off the auto-scaling flag.

Just suggestions, you are doing excellent work.
