A used Leaf sounds interesting for my commute back and forth to work. It's around 18 miles each way but I may not get any more than 38 miles per charge out of a 2010 Leaf (9 year old battery) during a blizzard with -10F temps. Buuut heat would be instant, and it would be nice to save on ICE wear with those extreme cold starts.

Correct me if I'm wrong with my math, but for cost per mile, 60MPGe is ~560wh/mile, and at 16.5 cents per kwh that's 9.25 cents per mile.

Comparatively speaking, 32.6MPG at $2.55 (last I paid for gas) works out to 7.82 cents per mile.

Of course, the math turns around if I can use someone else's electricity.
