I have, today, been investigating the power drawn by my wall charger for the purpose of establishing wall-wheel efficiency.
It transpires that my particular wall charger unit draws 16 W of power while doing nothing, in its standby mode.
So that adds up to 140 kWh per year, while I am anticipating 6,000 miles using 1,400 kWh.
So my wall charger is, itself, going to use 10% of all the energy my EV is going to use?!
Does your wall charger have a standby mode when not plugged in, and if so then how much power is it using?
