More experiments with charging:

Last night I charged on the 110V EVSE that came with the car at 12 amps. We used 12.4 kWh driving 53.8 miles to a fantastic brewery (Wolves and Peaple). Per the Kill-a-Watt the EVSE consumed 15.35 kWh for a charging loss of 19%. Charging took 10 hours (per the car's estimate) and temperature dropped from 60F at start to 46F at the end.

So changing the charge setting from 8 amp to 12 amp doesn't seem to have any effect on efficiency and the stock EVSE is MUCH less efficient than the Wallbox I purchased.

I also downloaded the Bolt PIDs and loaded them into Torque Pro so I'll be able to see some more parameters.
