Amber,
Thank you. Please do add this to the list of "feature requests". The Bolt is exceptionally well engineered, but having access to the SOC is very useful for drivers that are looking to maximize the driving experience. The range of the car is excellent, but the guess-o-meter does not really consider future driving conditions (weather, elevation changes, road conditions) that the driver IS aware of, but the car is not. This is why the SOC is more useful. I have found that I do not have to charge but every few days and when I do charge, it is often not to full.
This is a mockup of where I think it could go on the dash - under the "Enhanced" dash layout.
Thank you,
Larry
