If 1 litre of gasoline equals 8.87kWh and I used 78% of battery capacity (8.64kWh) then I used 0.76 litres of gasoline (or 0.2 gallons). Energy consuption isn't measured ""from the wall"". Will buy wattmeter some day and measure energy put back to batteries from the wall then."
2011-08-10 15.85 0.128 123.83 "Measured from the wall. Drove 25.5km (15.85 miles) and wattmeter showed 4.3kWh used for topping up the pack."
2011-08-14 29.01 0.262 110.73 "46.7km driven, 8.8kWh went in according to a wattmeter."
2011-08-15 28.87 0.199 145.08 "~20km at 80-100km/h, rest is stop'n'go city traffic. 6.7kWh into batteries."
2011-08-16 21.1 0.17 124.12 "33,95km, 5,7kWh in according to the wattmeter. Mostly stop'n'go."
2011-08-18 30.85 0.206 149.76 "Mostly Stop'n'go city traffic, 49,65km driven. 6,9kWh back into batteries."
2011-08-21 39.05 0.286 136.54 "80-90km/h most of the time. One cell went below 2.85V at 55km and was driven a bit too low before getting back home. This cell seems to be weakest of the pack as others were not even close to this limit. 9.6kWh used for recharging."
2011-08-23 33.31 0.283 117.7 "Stupid me went and drove kilometer or two when recharge wasn't fully completed. So this time kWh might be off a bit. I suppose full charge took total 9,5kWh from the wall. At least I know how far I went."
2011-09-12 22.72 0.274 82.92 "9.2kWh back to the pack. Car stood two weeks as new coupler was being machined and clutch plate getting replaced. I think I mistakenly reset odometer when taking dash apart while motor was off, so total distance may lack miles. Would explain resulting MPG."
2011-09-14 23.8 0.2085 114.15 "Using heater drains some available range. I have 4x 1500W ceramic elements in pairs of two. I only use one pair at a time as it is not that cold here yet."
2011-09-22 17.4 0.19369 89.83 "Again car stood still few days with only miniBMS connected. Drove 28km, maybe used heater a bit. 6.5kWh back into pack."
2011-09-23 15.53 0.16389 94.76 "25km driven, 5.5kWh back into batteries. Cold weather forces me to use heater almost every time I drive. MPG is dropping because of this."
2011-10-01 36.41 0.4648 78.33 "Had to do some random driving before charger had finished off. Didn't reset odometer or wattmeter during these short drives."
2011-10-04 34.73 0.292 118.94 "Drove pack pretty empty but still could have gone few more kilometers."
2011-10-09 6.275 0.09237 67.93 "Some regular driving after installing 20 new Winston 90Ah cells to the front. I'm using my 6kW heater setup a lot. Input to heater elements is probably about 4kW because of low voltage. Sidenote: 12V battery is dying. I can't even get a full charge anymore as 12V supply fades off and miniBMS gives up the relay control. Relay opens and charger shuts off. Immediate actions needed as weather is getting colder and poor Pb-battery doesn't hold charge even during warm days."
2011-10-11 21.81 0.22647 96.3 "Use of heater eats mpg reading but I don't care about that much. It is still clean driving and heat comes fast."
2011-11-10 18.33 0.21753 84.26 "Been getting very similar results. Solid state relays for heaters failed because of bad Pb battery (voltage getting too low when DC/DC is not on) and I wired heater ""always on"". Max range is about 25 miles with this setup. Of course it depends how fast you drive but I drive mostly in the city (less than 30mph)."
