The following posts will answer all about the Real Time Ride efficiency indicator (not exactly real time now)

How ride efficiency is calculated? (The red glow around the range number)

Ride efficiency is calculated as energy spent per distance travelled(for the last 10 sec). Hence, even if you go slow uphill, there is a certain amount of energy that will have to be spent just to gain that potential energy. Hence the red glow. The same thing applies while coming downhill, the energy consumption will be low as most of the energy spent is coming from the potential energy and not the battery pack.

Not entirely sure about this, but here’s what I’ve learned about the energy consumption indicator:

1. The red aura is based on the energy consumption averaged for the last 5/10 seconds.
2. If it’s below a certain threshold, there will be no change in colour. As it crosses that number, there are different energy consumption slabs for the intensity and diameter of the ring.
3. These thresholds and slabs are also different for each mode. For instance at 30 Wh/km, there may not be a ring in the Sport mode but it will appear in the Eco mode.
4. When we go into regen, the average energy consumption suddenly drops, and within 5 seconds, it completely becomes negative, hence we see the colour disappear suddenly. However, the same can be achieved by simply coasting or braking. I don’t think there’s a definitive way to indicate regen today.

Real-time efficiency indicator will now consider the efficiency of the last 10 seconds of riding, rather than throttle input for more accurate feedback about your riding style
