Efficiency at Charging
« on: January 10, 2013, 11:54:22 PM »
Hi,

yesterday I logged how much energy is running into to enertia.
Battery has been at a SOC of 48%, and - according to my 12€ powermeter - 3.818 kWh have been consumed.

Thus, dear auditorium, for a totally empty battery I would need 7,954 kWh, at 6.2 kWh total battery capacity. Makes an efficiency of 78%. Seems pretty good to me!

Read you
Rano

I think I see about 85% efficiency with the Delta-Q, but that's making some assumptions. The 2012 Zeros do not expose power consumption so readily.
