there maybe other KAWs out there, but mine is only good for 120 volt for current measurement. i have had it near 15 amps before but only briefly. have been up to 1714 watts before. i know this because i took a picture of it once and saw that. did not notice it when i took the pic so dont know how long it had been that high. i normally see it in the 1300-1400 range.
but either way. so far total miles 68, total K's 23.19 so just under 3 mpk. now that is wall to wheels. i really dont care about anything else, since that is "MY" cost.
with connection charge, taxes, etc my cost is around 10.2 cents/kwh. so i am just over 3 cents a mile so far. but the real numbers start now. just as the first tank from the dealer on my Prius was short. this one will be as well. as long as i was at the dealer, i should have plugged in but did not think of it at the time. oh well. but now i am full and we shall see what happens now.
i am beginning to think that charging efficiency is not going to be so good. to test, i will not be preheating (its about 37º outside, around 47 inside my garage so it will be a bit of a sacrifice!!) so i can get a better idea of the efficiency to wheels from battery.
