Energy distribution card could include a grid energy returned/consumed pie chart

Current look:

Just as the perimeter of the Home circle on the Energy Distribution card is a orange/green/blue pie chart indicating the breakdown of energy usage source, the perimeter of the Grid circle could be a blue/purple pie chart indicating the balance of grid energy consumed and returned. This would provide useful information at a glance. As an additional benefit, it would essentially render the Grid Neutrality Gauge card redundant, which could then be removed in favor of additional information (see #9976).

We have explored this but decided against it. It would require us to also include the green color and it becomes confusing fast. Breaking it out and having it as a gauge is a lot easier for people to understand. When you add too much information in a single card, people will overlook things.

I agree—especially with green being (sort of) a subset of blue. And with the addition of battery and gas, things are getting a bit out of hand, and I see the need for this to be as minimal as possible. I really like @matthiasdebaat's mockup here—seems promising.
