I have been researching buying a Nissan Leaf in the near future. I have been checking my round trip mileage for trips to town (45 miles to 70 miles) and the fuel cost I am currently experiencing with my truck for these trips for comparison.
Since about the best I can do is 18 mpg for a long term average anything over 100 mpg equivalent looks pretty tasty. We might be able to get a 6 cents a KWH rate from EPE for car charging off peak with a separate meter. This would move the cost comparison into the 5 to 1 ratio or higher. There are many other benefits too beside reducing carbon emissions. For one we could prolong the life of our truck by driving it far less. Hopefully we can move on this purchase by the spring of 2017?
