Energy usage indicator

[frxdy]

Someone had superimposed numbers of amps actually being used on the energy usage indicator and now I can't find it. It was the entire speedometer cluster and had white numbers over the usage bar. I'd sure appreciate it! Can anyone give a link to it?

You'll find this attempt to calibrate our Power Meter here: Quantifying Consumption and Regeneration
Whereas my original presumption was that our Power Meter is merely a damped ammeter, I'm now not sure sure and believe it might actually be a measure of Power (volts x amps), taking into account the gradual loss in traction pack voltage as we use up the stored energy.

I used it to superimpose speeds measured on flat dry roads with no wind, along Seine estuary (Normandy, France), at different "amperages" or Power, driving a Peugeot iOn with a battery of 16 kWatt-h. A power of 0.7 kWatt.h at 0 is not a measure and is pure speculation.

Thank you! This will help with teaching my wife why gentle acceleration and early braking pays off.
