For the benefit of Google: "YKYAEMI" means "You know you're an Ecomodder if ..."

If anything, these numbers are a bit too low, because the JuiceBox Premium is slightly over-reading the kWh, because it is based on a one-time voltage reading. But it does include the losses between the plug and the wheels.

I agree that EV's are the future. I cannot think of a way to be more efficient; other than lowering the aerodynamic drag. The drivetrain is paramount, and nothing beats an electric drivetrain.
