Yeah....be interesting to see your results. I'd have thought given the efficiency of electric motors, you'd only be using more juice if you drive it harder/faster. If you drive it in the same manner as the lower power electric motor, you'd see similar levels of electric usage.

Obviously when you first get it, you'll be sprinting off the line at full pelt just because you can, but over time, you'll not be using all the 145bhp as often and will more often than not be using a lot less.
