I don't think it likely you ever will for a car. The technology not only exists but has been in use for close to a century and is old school. I can only believe the reason is that the cost for such accuracy exceeds what anyone wants or is willing to pay for it.

I wonder when home meter bases will start measuring power consumption in units of "potential meals prepared"?

I hate to break it to you but the 'average Joe" isn't as ignorant, blind and naïve as the purveyors of false/misleading data wish he was. In my neck of the woods, you would be hard pressed to find any 'average guy" of accepted mechanical/electrical aptitude who wouldn't only have a working...

I doubt it seriously. ( He aint gone and I doubt its the first post either) The implication and scary part is that facts indicate there is a group of people with such a dedicated OCD to troll this specific site for reasons yet (if ever) to be determined. It almost borders on lubrication stalking

It does make one wonder especially in light of the fact that prior toward the green push ( and everything that goes with it) Nobody ever questioned or wanted anything better that a gas gauge ( for liquid measure) state of charge indicators, voltmeters and so forth. They all functioned...

Beginning to look like a drive by

You read very well and that's exactly why a test like this wouldn't past muster today. Back then is was about all there was. Its still a bogus test because it requires destruction to fail an NDT and MPI has literally ZERO value in any determination of any flaw that doesn't open to a surface...

Just curious, are you aware of how that testing works, what it is designed to determine and how virtually worthless it is considering modern metallurgy and testing practices in use today? ( granted it did have one and given USG contracting, a necessary one) It might not carry the weight it does...

not you personally no, just the vast majority of the points you raise.

If you ever wonder why all of you get called on every bogus point and have severe credibility issues, this is a prime example.

Nice dodge (not the vehicle). Come on, you know exactly what he meant.

No, you tied to justify a false narrative, I just corrected it. All romanticizing aside, what exactly do you know about electricity and electrical engineering?

Interesting point. Something like that would be reasonable, intelligent and certainly in line with numerous other available mileage estimators currently in use. (Even I would support it) Just like the gas gauge measures fuel volume- we can reasonably extrapolate a range. This would be no...

They don't have their own set of physics and "truths"- that's just wishful thinking geek speak. They are in the same universe the rest of us are and subject to the same everything else too. Another made up nothing. "refueling" is taking a level of potential ( be it electricity, fuel, coal, LP...

Depends on who you ask and what definitions/methods they are using. That's another area altogether.

But children also need to eventually be told there is no Santa too. Its not a case of "fitting"- its a useless, meaningless made up nothing number that means even less. Joe 6 pack actually understands % of charge from his trolling battery and they don't tell him he can go 2 fishing holes...

First, GPH is an empirical measurement and is accurate for a fluid- MPH for a battery is not. First, you are not "adding" electricity to a battery ( as if filling up a salt shaker)- you are doing an electrochemical conversion which is not linear ( cant add 10 in and get 10 out). A battery...

I see what you are talking about. Geeks using meaningless jargon. Still doesn't alter anything I said. They can refer to it as 300 fireflies flickering and it doesn't make it any less useless

No again, Due to battery density, condition, level of charge, power quality and a host of other things contributing, it is impossible to directly correlate a charge rate ( from the charger) the state of charge ( density) and the rate of charge ( how fast the battery accepts) in MPH regardless of...

They couldn't care less, trust me and those warranties are business enticements ( which are included in the price)- they are not endorsements of enhanced performance or greater quality.
