What's more, it automatically recharges fully once crosses the line with still much energy left.
I could be wrong, but I believe that the gauge only shows the amount of energy that is being released through the MGU, not necessarily the amount of energy stored in the energy store. As a matter of fact, the rules merely limit the amount of energy released through the MGU and the measurement take place at that level. So far I know, there is no provision that limits the amount of energy that can be stored in the energy store or that forces to communicate that amount together with the telemetry data.
