Honda Insight MK1 SOC Gauge In Car 1st Test

Test of Insight MK1 Soc Gauge in car being driven by changing values sent via RS485 METSCI bus from my laptop.

I love seeing the 98.5 lifetime imperial MPG! I can imagine how that must feel to see that number climb over time now that you've got the far more capable 40Ah LiFePO4 pack in there. I can't think of any other car that I'd rather have be a PHEV than the Mk1 Insight.

Thanks guys.

I'm hoping the display will roll over the magic 100mpg lmg later this year!!!

It's going up about 0.5mpg per 1000 miles or so. But car is in garage now as you know whilst I'm tweaking it.
