Does anybody truly understand how to read the power versus charge gauge on the right side? Also, how that doesn’t match or compare to the hybrid information screen on the drivers dashboard, not Uconnect. The one that shows output versus charge for the battery and gas engines. As we all know, the manual, including the hybrid addition, is no help.

If it's above horizontal, you're using power. 25%, 50%, etc....but that is a combination of gas and electric if the engine is running. Below horizontal, the battery is receiving a charge. I've never had mine above about 40% charging, tho, even during downhill regenerative braking. It's not a very accurate gauge IMO but more of an indicator to use to drive more economically by staying below the 25% power output level, for instance.

Thanks. That would explain why it doesn’t match the hybrid info screen, once again not the Uconnect screen.
