Interesting post. I only used a kill-watt- meter once on my Evolution with a 205 amp lithium battery. I found the charger to use 1200watts (about the same as a toaster oven or hair dryer). The cart charged in an hour after driving 10 miles.

1200 watts/hour, 1 hour = 10 miles. 1.2 kwh x ~.12cents/kwh comes out to aprox 1.45 cents/mile.

Once I saw how reasonable it was, I didn’t take any more readings but this post has me second guessing so I will take more.
