In 2010 Chevy was strongly against any instrumentation stating that it was a distraction. The car was smarter than you ( a quote I saw far too many times)

After complaints in 2013 GM finally added a kW meter that unifies gas and electrical flow onto the speedo at the bottom. (One reason 2013 was my parameter for purchase)

Scanguage can be specially programmed to show kW but you take a chance of bricking the car during startup & shutdown. Some plug and remove it to avoid this issue but if you have it wiggle intermittently or aren't smooth that can also brick the car.

The dashdaq is the GM certified solution for all states and measures in the car. It too can brick if the connector is loose or accidentally removed.
