Some suggestions for the power/MPG status display
 
Just in case someone at Ford is reading, I have some suggestions for improving the power and mileage status display:
  • On the moving bar graph, how about an option for each bar representing the last mile (or KM) instead of the last minute?
  • Show both electric motors instead of one "virtual" motor.
  • Show numeric current/voltage levels for the main power runs.
  • Percentage charge display on the battery (the green/white color doesn't do it for me.)
  • Display friction-brake usage (is this possible? I think it is possible to derive it even if there is no sensor.)
  • Numeric current MPG.
That's my current list. Anyone else have suggestions?

You can have all that and more today, for a $169 "upgrade".

Also totalize standing time at stop lights when the ICE is off. I do not think this important energy saving information is part of the MPG equation!

all good ideas. How about coolant temp and oil pressure?
