I'm simply reporting the Nissan battery ECU's idea of SOC. I'm not altering it, but I could add another parameter that has a more "real" 0-100% range.EVDrive said:Phil, I don't think you have answered this question yet for the non technical people out there.
What are you going to use as the bottom end of the state of charge?
Is 0% SOC going to be turtle mode (this would be my preference as reaching turtle would seem the logical 0% baseline) or is it going to be when the car shuts off and won't power back on (having dead as a baseline might encourage people to go there which doesn't seem good)?
Also, how do you (if you do) account for the variation in what the car considers 100% charge? Those with gid meters have mentioned there appears to be ~ 1% - 4% variance in the total usable energy after supposedly charging to 100%. I think it would be interesting to see if the car did or did not charge to 100%.
Because this is starting to go off-topic, HERE is a separate thread to discuss this.
