The fuel bars are NOT directly linked to the store battery energy (Gid), but the battery warnings are.
If this is the case, what good do the fuel bars do anybody ?
I am somewhat confused by the multiple range charts - based on a new car, 1 year old car with 12 bars, and cars with only 11, 10, 9 or 8 battery bars.
For one thing, for the charts for cars with 8 to 11 bars, there are still rows for all 12 bars.
Let's take for example the chart for a car with 8 bars :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35284720/postfiles/leafcharts/LEAFrangeChartVersion7G63.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Such a car could obviously never have 9, 10, 11 or 12 bars displayed. So why are those rows still present on that chart ? If my car had a maximum of 8 bars when fully charged, I would never want to look at those rows for 9, 10, 11, or 12 , right ? So, shouldn't those rows be removed ?
I would want to look only at the row for 8 bars and below.
If I look at the row for the 8th bar on that chart, it shows that the GID range is 117 to 125, and the SOC % is 41.7% to 44.6%.
But if I take the "new car" chart (at the top of this thread), the 8th bar has a GID range of 186 to 199, and the SOC% is 66.2% to 70.8%.
Are you really saying that 8 bars on a new car represents 186 to 199 GIDs, whereas 8 bars on a car that has a max of 8 bars has only 117 to 125 GIDs ?
Since a new car has a maximum of 261 GIDs, that would mean a car maxing out at 8 bars would have at most 125/261 = 47% of the battery capacity of a new car.
Please tell me I am reading this wrong, or there is an error somewhere.
