Bugeyed, I have already been chastised on this forum re inverter....charger /converter ac to dc in, inverter dc battery to ac motor out....The reading on my SR matched the reading on my charge point within 0.1 kW and my smart meter (allowing for my house's background usage) so I assumed that it was inverter in. But I have no proof that is the intention nor where the reading actually was.
I played with lowering the charge rate in the car and there was no indication of a loss in efficiency that you'd expect. Certainly efficiency in terms of charge gained was below the charge shown multiplied by time, but that would be expected whether measured as AC or DC.
Good to know about your reading as that showed almost no loss at the charger to the battery, measuring point within the car...who knows? Podpoint chargers local to myself are inconsistent, some you plug in and it's granny charger rate from 60% soc immediately and stays that way until you phone them, other don't deliver full 7kw ...seems their actual charger automated monitoring is not that advanced but I find they are becoming more consistent.
