I reset the amp hour meter before heading home today. I opted to not use any regen just to get an idea of how much power I actually use on my normal commute. I will say this is a very ideal case. I ran no accessories at all, no fan, no headlights, etc. This is how much electricity it takes to run the car, period. I also used P&G which reduced usage further.

The voltage is reading high because for whatever reason on the last little bump start kicked the alternator on for some reason beyond me at this time. That actually kicked it up from around 2.5Ah to 2.7Ah.
