The GFI never tripped.
I both charged and drove the car in the rain (at night) with no problems, other than the fact that I don't have a rear electric defroster in this car!
I have the latest numbers from recharging! 4.38 KWh used to drive 14.4 miles. (includes recharging 12V battery) comes out to just over 121 MGPe.
I figure the big hit here is that I was running the wipers, defroster, and headlights, and possibly some additional rolling resistance from the rain.
No problems driving the car. I think my wife is much more comfortable in it now that I have a "real" go pedal and the brakes are automated.
I drove us to dinner last night, and dropped her off for the carpool this morning. (Carpooling has been KILLING her fuel economy - cold engine short trips to the park and ride!)
