I was the one who bought this SoC meter and I have to tell you knowing the Gids has been immensely beneficial. For my 70 mile round trip commute, I now drive for the most days without doing an opportunity charge at my office (through the 'don't ask don't tell' policy), because I now know exactly how much is left and that helps me pace my driving.
I start at 252 (100% charge) and as long as i have anything above 150 when i reach my office I am not worried about my return trip. Even if I come as low as 140 I am still OK, except that I will roll into my garage past LBW. Not a big deal because I know how much is left before VLB.
If I am anything at below 140, only then I plug in at my office only to the extent to get me around 145 and then I unplug. Since I got this meter I have had to plug in maybe 2 times for an hour each at my office.
Gid meter is a must for everyone.
