Officially?
I call it the Guess-O-Meter.

I think the actual term is DTE (Distance to Empty) indicator.
In the LEAF community it is derisively known as the 'Guess-o-meter'.

Generically, this kind of display is called a "Range Estimator." In Europe and Asia it is also called an "Autonomie" (I think that's the spelling) display.

GOM or Guess-O-Meter long predates the LEAF. Any range or length estimate is a GOM. I first heard the term in about 1970.

My manual calls it the "Driving Range" indicator.
From EV shows I've attended, a lot of non-EV owners I've talked to called it the Range Indicator, but I always told them that it's just a Guess-o-meter.

Well there you go. Honestly it's such a useless gimmick to me that I couldn't be bothered to RTFM to check. :lol:
