This is a stretch, but maybe there's a psychological impact that reminds the driver to drive with economy in mind. You know those sneaky Toyota people with their subtle messages

What's FCD?

What's SoC? My Escape has a guage on the instrument cluster showing high voltage battery regenerative charge or discharge. I also have the optional synergy display showing the various real-time states of gas/electric motor/generator/battery/braking system status.

Ah. Got it, thanks. Yes, the Escape does have a SoC (state of charge) indicator. The battery icon on the optional synergy display changes among several "fill" levels to show relative charge.

Hi Ogakor:

___Then your Escape HEV does have an SoC display! This is counter to what C&D or whichever Car Mag I was reading at the Jewel grocery store last night mentioned.

___How does your SoC change during your normal drive. Does it rise and fall in particular range like the Prius’ do?

___Good Luck
