I rented a Leaf recently, and I really don't like the "miles remaining" thing. It varies too much. If you're going uphill, it gives a smaller number of miles remaining. Then when you get back on level ground, miles go back up. Going downhill it changes again. Talk about range anxiety. I'd much rather have just as Empty-Full gauge as a regular car does. Then I can see just how fast the gauge is going down and estimate for myself. I think most people who have driving ICE cars all their lives have the same instinct. The "miles remaining" is only a rough estimate anyway, just like the rough estimate I'd make by looking at the Empty-Full gauge. I'd be interested to hear other people's take on it.
