Yup - the only problem I have with this approach is that the dash instrumentation doesn't give enough significant digits. "3.4" miles/kWh displayed on the dash could mean anything from 3.35 to 3.449 miles/kWh, which for a 100 mile drive could result in your actual consumption being just about anywhere in the 28-29 kWh range. Of course this isn't a big deal in most cases, but being off by up to a full kWh can easily result in you coming up a couple miles short of your destination if it's close!RavCharge improves upon this somewhat by allowing you to derive your actual consumption by taking the difference between your before and after SOC readouts, and by giving you the ability to instantaneously measure your SOC at a much higher fidelity than the bars in the dash provide, but unfortunately it's limited in what it can do when your SOC is above the "100% of normal" range. An optimal solution would be something like LeafSpy for the Rav that can read high-fidelity SOC info direct from the CAN bus, but unfortunately we're not there yet. Anything's better than looking at GOM miles!
