(This was added in 0.1.2 prerelease and will be available in 0.2 stable release)


Create your resistojet/ion thruster just like you would a normal engine. The only change is in setting up Electric Charge draw. Create a new fuel ratio, and set its Propellant to ElectricCharge. Then enter your desired power draw in kW as its ratio (1kW is 1EC/s in KSP). This ratio will not interfere with other ratios, as it's excluded from standard calculations. That's it! Now your engine should consume electric charge while running.
