After driving the car around for the last few days. Joy ride with the family up to the Mt cootha lookout, A few small trips on the motorway, to the shops and a trip to bunnings yesterday. I thought i would put it on the charger for the first time last night.
I had clocked up 106km a lot of that was in hilly undulating area around Brisbane along with a few steep hill climbs mentioned above. So A good mix of driving. AC used a few time for window defogging and 1/2 of the driving was done at night.
I installed a kwh meter on the charger. Going off the dash guage 16 bars representing 1kwh each I had consumed 14 bars - 14kwh or perhaps a tad more as the 1kwh resolution is hard to tell when it clicked over to 14 bars. but roughly 14kwh.
The charger starts you hear a small coolant pump circulate coolant through the system for 20 seconds .Then charging begins. 2200w on the meter and a power factor of 99. I noticed during charging the coolant pump runs very slowly for 10 seconds ever 10 min or so.(It sounds like a little water feature trickling noise from under the car) when the coolant pump ran it made no difference to the 2200w showing on the meter.
After one hrs charging the charger dropped back to 2w consumption for about 5 min (I guess it was doing some kind of battery check) Then it continued charging at 2200w. I woke thins morning to a full battery and
14.37kwh consumed on the kwh meter.
The charging from wall to battery is very efficient. Got to love lithiums. Doing the calculations 106km driven on 14.37kwh =(135wh/km) exactly what the sticker on the window said

or at $0.156kwh (my tariff 33 in Brisbane) $2.10 for 100km of driving

Or the equivalent of a petrol burner using (1.2lt - 100km) at today's petrol prices.
As it turns out my typical week day driving is about 4-5kwh a day consumption from the wall plug. Shouldn't be to hard to cover that with the extra 4200w of PV even in average weather.
