I believe the power draw in kWh is for what you will pay the power company directly, but yes there is some power loss in charging so it won't directly match the kWh in your battery.When you say kWh per x miles, is that the same kWh you pay the power company for or is there some lost in the charging process so kWh paid for is more than kWh in the battery pack?
