I don't think the question was about the transaxle as a whole, as there are numerous gear losses not being represented here, but it was in relation to the relative electrical power going through mg1 and mg2 and the battery. It was not clear if each motor and the battery had their own current sensors even, because you cannot infer one and then use that inference to measure efficiency (otherwise they will all be 100% efficient).
