What is ECO History Score

[gwatpe]

I have been driving the PHEV in EV mode only the last few days.

Was hoping to see some connection between the ECO logged data and how the PHEV was driven.

Here are some screens of the history recorded by the PHEV.

Driving conservatively in EV only mode does not correlate to other logged data.

Have other forum members linked ECO records to how they drove the PHEV ?

Was hoping the PHEV could record my attempts to drive in an ECO manner.

Looks like no one else can make sense of ECO history score either.

I've never looked at it. It's a fairly arbitrary thing - the mpg and kwh figures are the only meaningful figures

ECO score
Measure of Drivers ECO performance for the current Journey only.

Factor 1 – Acceleration. The driver is given positive evaluations for acceleration when they accelerate slowly and smoothly. The driver can rely on their sense of hearing for this category – the quieter the car is when driving off, the better this value will be.

Factor 2 – Cruising. This value shows how calm and consistent your overall driving is. Frequent alternation between the accelerator and brake pedal has a negative impact on this score, as do abrupt manoeuvres.

Factor 3 – Deceleration. This score displays how conscientious someone is driving. If the traffic lights 50 metres ahead are already red, it is best to take your foot off the accelerator and coast to the lights. The more you allow the car to coast instead of dissipating energy by using the brakes, the better this value will be.
(Even so, it is obviously important to always use the brake in an emergency.)

Each of these values accounts for one-third of the EcoScore.

I can still afford to drive the way I do so looks like the ECO will need to wait. having plentiful free electricity has not encouraged me to be sparing in EV driving, so this is why my scores are all over. Get better results on petrol. Have to wait for traffic to thin and the hills to wear down some more to improve on my scores.
