    Hello, all.

    I am new to the Prius world and I got a 2020 Prius Prime a month ago.

    I was wondering if there was a way to pull the day-to-day charging history from the Prius for easy charting. I am really looking for how many hours or how many kWh charged per day.

    Thanks!

    Have you looked at a Kill-A-Watt?
    Not integrated but will give you the info you want.
    Can be reset manually every day/week/month.
    Can give you Kwh and/or $$ per time period.
    I use on and like it very much.

    You can not get that data from the car. The car may store it, but not displayed or easily accessible by the owner. If you are using OEM 120V evse, as suggested by @schja01, you can use a Kill-A-Watt on the wall to measure kWh used for each charge session. If you use L2 evse, there are many that come with an app that will record exactly what you are looking for.

    I use only L1 OEM evse on 120V outlet and have been using Kill-a-watt from almost day 1 for over two years. However, it is not very easy to check the time with it. It will show the elapsed time, but it is since the last reset not an actual charge time. Unless you reset each time you charge and check it when it just finished charging, it will not correspond to the charging time required for a full charge.

    I track usage by the month.
    I use Trip ODO 2 for mileage.
    I use the K-A-W for Kwhs.
    I use the Electric Bill for $/Kwh.
    I put a monthly reminder in my calendar so I don’t
    forget reset things.
    Works well enough for my purposes.
