Looking for some ideas. Now that we have our POJ AeroVironment ESEV installed, I am trying to figure out some solution for tracking how much electricity the car consumes each month. Does anyone know if the car itself will track that info?
If not, has anyone come across a reasonable kill-a-watt type solution for 240v (other than not making the huge mistake of buying an AV ESEV, I know, I know)? There are a lot of low cost solutions for a 120v standard outlet, but this only thing I can come across for 240v is to maybe direct wire a home appliance monitor from the UK like this one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Efergy-Esocket-Plug--Energy-Monitor/dp/B002PD73IW/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1292194851&sr=8-12) though I would need to find one rated for 40 amps.
All sounds messy. Any ideas? PS I would really like to find a z-wave one if anybody has an idea...
