Benjamin,
Yes, in the the original signature I did state I have a 2002, but I made a mistake and corrected it quickly to (2000).
I beleive I have had only one RECAL event. During this event the charge level gauge went all the way down to 0% and possibly even turned off (reset/restarted) for a fraction of a second then showed 100%. The other times that my gauge shows low, it recharges during the remainder of my trip. BTW, I do live in North-West Vermont so the battery pack is being subjected to very harsh temperatures (sub zero at times).
Armin,
It depends on how hard I press down on the accelerator pedal as to the number of bars lit showing assist level. Most of the time when I want hard assist from the electric motor, the assist meter shows all bars lit or almost all bars lit. From time to time I also only press down hard enough for 50% assist to show.

Edv,
How is it that the difference between the amount of assist available @ high charge vs. low charge is very noticeable?
