    I'm trying to track down the actual charge rate of the Plugin Prius at 120v as measured by owners using a kill-a-watt or similar meter.

    I know I've seen a few people post this but I've given up trying to search for it. I need the current rate as in 10.0A or 11.7A etc on an empty battery (in other words, the peak rate). Other data like the observed voltage and total kW would be interesting also.

    A graph showing the charge current drawn over the time of a complete charge would be awesome but I suspect that it asking too much. It would be great to hear about charge current during different times within the charge cycle. In other words, on an empty battery the charge rate should quickly ramp up to the maximum and then at some point as the battery becomes full it will start to ramp down the rate.


    Thanks in advance!
