10 years ago a novel DIYer came up with a dang fine instrument to monitor his system. It was the Cycle Analyst from ebikes. It was designed for bicycles but it's an amazing instrument and works well with EV's. It calculates your watthours per mile, monitors the pack voltage and current and keeps a tally on your AH consumed. Usable also as a fuel gauge. Tons of other data at your fingertips.
At the time they had a unit that was not in an enclosure so we could install it in our own. I built one and put a Controller Ready LED in it as well as a pack balance meter. I should post a video. It even has some digital interface options I believe but I don't use that.
I did a quick search on it yesterday and found no recent activity. There may be a better option out there but it suits my needs!
