  I don't have detailed data yet (thanks to a hospital stay when I was going to do power testing), but an informal test shows approximately 80 mA (@ 5.14v) under a WiFi / web page load test (from my review[1]). At idle, while connected to WiFi, it's under 10 mA, but I haven't had time to do any detailed testing, so take those numbers with a grain of salt.

    One new model of the ESP32 does, though I don't think it's coming until later this year.
