Suggestion for vehicle MPG displays

Hello, all electric cars on this website are listed as "0 liter," but I think it'd be more fun if we could instead list the battery capacity of our vehicle. For instance I'd be able to put "30 kWh" there instead.

Just a small suggestion and I understand it's not apples to apples, since gasoline vehicles list their engine displacement and not fuel tank size---but it'd be more fun than having a "0-liter" car.

EDIT: Also include "electric" as an option in the signature. So for instance mine could say

'17 Nissan Leaf - 30 kWh / Electric
Instead of
'17 Nissan Leaf - 0 L / other

EDIT: I re-read this post and the tone looks really grumpy for some reason. I don't mean for it to be! I love this site and I think it would be a fun addition/change to include the options I've outlined, or at least to consider. Not sure what was going through my head that made it look so grumpy when I first wrote it.

I didn’t read it as “grumpy” and I think your suggestions make a lot of sense. Hopefully Darren will see this and take it under consideration.
