That is why most people who have electric cars, like my self, measure their electricity use at the wall, just like part of the cost of heating your house with fuel oil or natural gas is the cost of running that huge fan that blows the air around the house and the computer in the furnace that is always on (20 watts on my furnace, summer and winter), but that electricity that is lost in the charger and batteries not being perfect is counted with electric cars and the charger interlock keeps me from driving off with my cord still plugged in to the car.
