Description
In #1263 state-of-charge was introduced. It seems this has supplanted the "filled to full" flag entirely. This is unfortunately contrary to my usage reality with an LFP-based EV. The manufacturer demands 100% charges regularly and SOC percentages can fluctuate wildly in regards to actual usage.
I'd request that the use of SOC-based or "classic" 100%-based calculations be left to the user. Even putting in 0-100% doesn't work, because the fancy logic makes up consumption in this case.

I have been tracking all my charges in "Car Expenses" before and they have worked flawlessly, because I have to go to 100% regularly anyway. I do not have information on SoC and don't really intend to track it either, because it is unfortunately fairly meaningless on my vehicle. I understand the fancy estimates from SoC being nice when you never charge your car to 100% like NMC users tend to do, but it doesn't apply to the LFP use case, classic 'simple' math works perfectly there.

Acknowledgment

• I acknowledge that LubeLogger is a side project and that development efforts are entirely voluntary. I do not expect the core maintainers to respond to this issue, and I will not hound or chase them regarding this issue or any other issues.

This is feedback that would have been extremely helpful in the original discussion. #1263 was open from February 10th to July 1st, that's 141 days, and during that time period there were no dissenting opinions for how EV charges should be tracked, nothing along the lines of "I regularly charge my EV to 100%" was found anywhere. We had our concerns about SoC's from previous charges, but were repeatedly reassured that it was trivial and the information was easily accessible. The code changes have already been made under the assumption that all Electric Vehicles will utilize this new calculation, to add a conditional toggle for it now would not be straightforward, as it would add unnecessary complexity for most users who do want the new calculations.

This request is akin to people not attending public hearings and only voicing their concerns after the decision has already been made. In the spirit of keeping it fair, we will let this request remain open for two weeks and will be closed as "unplanned" by August 13th if we don't see any compelling reasons to implement this.

I am sorry you feel that way, I only just discovered this tool today and was not aware of it's existence back then, so I was incapable of providing input.
