Do you whether over all mi/kwh includes or excludes phantom losses? Also, if the car is parked for a day or two, will the Trip A count change to accommodate phantom losses or it includes only drive related numbers?
Trip A and B numbers do not include the phantom losses. The since last charge numbers do.
Hmm, this raises lot of questions on EPA range comparison with ICE. People shouldn't compare the two numbers as there is no phantom loss in ICE cars. Annualized miles coverage for total KW charged is better way to understand the actual impact of electrification of automobiles against standard annual miles driven by ICE.
Phantom drain does not impact range on a road trip because the car is not sitting for long periods. You are right that phantom drain during daily use is an energy cost that you do pay for so it affects cost of ownership.
I agree to an extent but just trying to get to a layman perspective. ICE will drive for a distance before filling the gas again. Your phantom drain takes you to charging station faster. In daily life not many drive so many miles in a single day, phantom drain will play a role in range one drives. So there is an impact to the range between charging for sure.
Yes, but the difference is academic. I found that the car has a phantom drain of about 1/4 of one percent per day. This will not significantly reduce your efficiency unless the car sits for a very long time. And when that happens to an ICE car, other problems occur.
See my rant / opinion here, as to why you should focus your attention on Since Last Charge:

In the same sense that drinking black coffee adds 5ish calories to your diet, sure; technically, you've consumed calories. But nobody gains weight because of black coffee.
