> And when I'm charging it's nice that most cars tell you the number of kilowatts you are receiving, but it would be nice to know exactly how many amps and volts as well.

Well, it's giving you kW, and you already know voltage from the charger, so you can work out the number of amps being pulled, roughly.

Not that I am disagreeing; it would be nice to see all three figures without having to try to work out any of them.

Unfortunately most DC chargers don’t tell you the voltage either. I know that my car can charge at “400 volts” or “800 volts”, but I don’t know if that’s exact or just a ballpark number.
