Consumption Gauge (PHEV)

The consumption gauge is a virtual gauge, displayed only in EV Now mode, and provides information to the driver indicating short term vehicle consumption, consumption needed to make it to a target destination and average vehicle consumption between charges. The IPC receives the consumption data from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the consumption data from the SOBDMC over the HS-CAN1.

The consumption gauge is displayed with 3 basic components.

Consumption required to reach a programmed target destination. It is shown as the u-shaped outline (blue) on the sides and bottom of the gauge. The top of the cup indicates the required consumption.
The second is short term consumption. It is shown as a horizontal bar (white) that represents the current battery fill level. The input is also used for the instantaneous portion of the debt-surplus gauges.
Average consumption between charges. It is shown as a triangle pointer along the side of the gauge. The input is also used for the average portion of the debt-surplus gauges.
