Sage Brush,
I never post kWh readings from Leaf Spy because they are based upon the scaling factor chosen by the user. I post the "Gid" value because Leaf Spy reads that number directly from the car. I personally have the scaling factor set to 80 watt hours per "Gid" because that was the value noted by Phil back in 2011 (and also printed in early versions of the service manual). I have a "Gid" meter that I assembled from a kit I purchased from Gary in 2012 so using 80 allowed me to directly compare readings from Leaf Spy to readings from the meter on the older cars. I used a Y-cable and kept both Gid meter and Leaf Spy running in the older cars. I don't know if the Gid Meter is compatible with the CAN Bus in the new car and there is no place to put it with the new dash/console design so I have not tried to use it. i kept the setting at 80 Wh/Gid with the new car so I can directly compare data with records from my old cars. For comparison, my older cars always hit LBW at 49 Gids, VLBW at 24 Gids, Turtle at 5 Gids, and Shutdown at 4 Gids (other cars may be different and less consistent because I always charged to 100% and discharged deeply so the cells were well balanced). The Gids at full charge for the 2015 were 282 or 283 when new and started to slowly drop after about 6 months. The Gids at full charge on the replacement battery in the 2011 started a little lower and immediately started to decline slowly.
The kWh, peak demand, voltage, and current measurements came from a revenue-accuracy smart meter on the branch circuit which supplies the EVSE.
Dave,
The SOC percent on the dash display did go to flashing --- after counting down to 1%, but I did not note the Gid reading. I know it was flashing dashes when power-limited mode (Turtle) happened at 9 Gids.
