Ever since I've leased my EV Spark, I have been looking at how much I was charge from the Utility. I was hoping if anyone here can enlighten me.
Yesterday was the first day that I drained my Spark to 5 miles left. Full tank is about 21kw so let say I have 2kw left on my battery. We also have chevy Volt which was drained to 0kw left.
Spark 2kw left and need total 19kw
Volt 0kw left and need total 16kw
19+16=35kw will be charge from 5/15 8pm evening to 5/16 2am morning.
One charger TurboCord for the (Volt) and the other Clipper Creek LCS-25P for the (Spark). Both charger are on 240v.
See picture below
Note: Orange is Solar products and blue is electricity draw from utility.
I am counting the blue bar from 8pm to 2am that is only 22kw was charge for both car. Did I stated that I needed 35kw for both car?
My questions is can anyone explain. I'm not complaining it takes 22kw of charging for 35kw on both car.
Thanks in advance.
