How To: Enable Power Meter on Non-GT Mach E

[MadMatt]

I have a 23.5 ER AWD that is fully updated via FDRS and had enabled the power meter via forscan roughly a year ago. On a recent 50+ mile drive I noticed that I had partial jail bars on my power meter but not sure how that happened.

1. I thought that the power meter didn't show reduced power a non-GT car? I thought it was only recharge and acceleration only?
2. The reduced power showed in 50+ degree weather while driving with BC near the tail end of my drive. Speeds were around 55+ MPH. Is this normal?
3. The jail bars didn't disappear over night but did go away after a DCFC session which I take is normal, but again from question 1, this shouldn't happen on my Premium version, right?
4. Also, why is my power meter still working when it seems that this broke for other users who had this enabled?

1. It does.

2. Yes, factors in a coupe of things, battery temp and current soc most importantly from what understand. I think anything under 80% charge will introduce some bars.

3. Normal behaviour, overnight means the battery was maybe below optimum temp in the morning (or still under 80%). After a dcfc the battery is warm and charged = happy.

4. I think it has to do with a certain version of the IPC module. Unsure.. my 2024 late year build works as well.

Thanks for that reply.

I was at 47% SoC when my trip ended. I typically drive locally and have had my SoC lower, but never saw jail bars on my local drives.

I enabled this meter, and I see that tje lightning bolt changes from green to blue. Meaning?

Green is regen. Blue means power delivery, aka acceleration. Gray bars mean power limited.

I haven't seen gray yet.

Thank you

Gray jail bars happens when your battery is too cold, you've done a few too many rapid accelerations, and when your HVB SoC is reduced. I think it also happens when you're in turtle mode.

It's interesting how it shows the regen side but not the power usage side.

Which is which? I see the lightning bolt change from blue to green, and the green slider doesn't move much.

Green is regen. Blue is using power. The lightning bolt changes, and green bars appear for me when I come off the accelerator, but no blue bars at all.

This mod is pretty much dead because the power bar no longer works with the current powertrain software. Just shows gray bars like many others are reporting.

CarScanner dashboard w ODBII still works great....

I'm curious how people are able to tell the number of KWH they are generating via regenerative braking on a trip. I feel like I've seen people share that on the forum in a few places, but I don't see it anywhere in m y 2025. Is that data from some kind of mod? Am I imagining things?

So this meter doesn’t even appear on MY25 vehicles?

Nope. Just GT/Rally models. ?‍?

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but my model doesn't seem to support the Forscan change. I don't want to leave a phone that needs to be charged and have the screen always on so decided to create a small project instead of other options. It will be open-sourced when it's ready and use about 20$ (tariff not included) in components so you could make your own: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...ds-for-torque-project.7427/page-3#post-962365

My 2022 just got the newest powertrain updates from dealer and power meter still only showing regen (green) portion. I believe we need the IPC cluster update promised for Q2 to fix this.
