Mike, the MFD display on the dash has a "mini" energy consuption display option. It is quite useful, but limited compared to the NAV energy display. I don't have NAV, and use the MFD energy display from time to time. It shows the battery SOC, and energy flow (ICE and/or EV power to wheels, regen to battery) It doesn't allow you to reset it for trips or display energy usage over time like the NAV does. It also doesn't show of the engine is recharging the battery.
