Using 3.3 miles / kWhr from the wall for the Leaf highway numbers does get the leaf past my gas car at 78mpgE (not energy but price) at the current pricing with gas at $3.80 and electric at .16 per kWhr. My Honda CBR250R is getting 82 lifetime and 87mpgUS in the summer so that is pretty good. If I can import a CBR125R I would be closer to mid 90's. I might be able to get the cost of electricity down with a demand meter but it's too bad the range won't make it for me. The biggest battery I can cram into a motorcycle is 7kWhr so that won't make it either. That might barely make it 39 miles at 66mph one way at 80%.
