I've never been able to keep track of when a bar disappears.IBELEAF said:SOC bar estimate is just as unreliable as the range estimator unless you live in a perfect place for EV. First bar always goes away very quickly and that seem also dependent on the temperature when you charged the car. Also if you drive at freeway speed or up the hill or with heater on or all at the same time your bars will go by very quickly making an estimate miles per bar completely useless. I am relying on one thing now is familiarity with the route.
If you can keep track of when the bar goes away - I suggest keeping track of both the miles & the m/kwh shown. That way you know exactly how many kwh of energy each bar represents when discharging (ofcourse, assuming the m/kwh shown is correct).
