New to Site, 2014 Spark EV White with 200 miles on ODO, SF Bay area.

Does anyone know the current draw or kWh used (with 120v charger) when the battery is fully charged. In other words, the electricity needed to maintain a charged battery pack.

I assume it would be quite small, but I would like to know. Thank you.

When I measured mine with a Watt's Up it shows about 4W after charging finishes, I thought this was surprisingly low. I assume that if the temperature was high or low that the battery conditioning would raise that.
