Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As all of the graphs (apexcart) present battery soc (and load) in Kwh but the predplan only gives soc in % it needs always some calculation to see how much the % is in kWh.

Describe the solution you'd like
So adding (not removing soc% as this is used by most inverters) soc in kWh to the plan would make it a lot easier.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Interestingly I favour soc% and have changed many of my apex charts to display this as I was doing the calculation in reverse ;-D. Flexibility is good as we're all different, but if this FR is implemented, it would be nice to have a way to turn off unwanted columns in the card as it currently fits the phone screen perfectly. I know there is the option of using the "pacemaker82 Predbat-Table-Card", which adds more customality, however I personally don't like it as much as the inbuilt card.

Personally I too prefer SoC %, it's just easier to read than a raw kWh value. I have the kWh value on my dashboard but TBH I look at the percentages more

However, an alternative way to implement this could be to add it as an option to the Predbat table card that @pacemaker82 has created. The table card has lots of different config and styling options (resequence columns, change styling etc) so it might be more suitable to be in there than a Predbat configuration item

At the moment the card does rely on reformatting the data in the HTML plan, but I'm suggesting that maybe the card could calculate it from the existing data in the plan and an external 'battery capacity' sensor. It's just SoC x battery capacity so maybe it could be dynamically calculated rather than having to add yet another option to Predbat.

Would need @pacemaker82 to say if this is even possible.
