It looks like quite a bit of display real estate is devoted to monitoring the battery temperature.
For the folks who have been driving EV's - does the battery temperature really change so much as to need to devote that much prime display space to monitoring it? Even if you know what the temperature of the batteries is - can you alter your driving to positively effect the temperature?
Do you think this is a good use of display space, or are the other parameters that you would rather have the ability to monitor on an instantaneous basis? It might be nice to see a rotating display (a la the Prius) where you can display battery temperature (if that is really needed), regeneration specs, instantaneous energy usage (watts per mile or some other meaningful metric to help you determine how much energy you are pulling at that instance in time), energy usage over time, etc. etc.
