Yesterday was probably a typical weekday for me. I drove to the gym early in the morning, then to my office. I gave one friend a quick driving demo of the car that probably covered about 5 miles including a lot of (energy-wasting) fast acceleration (for purposes of demonstration only, you understand). I ran a couple of errands after work before driving 10 miles downtown for an evening at the theatre, then home.
According to CarWings I drove a total of 40 miles averaging 4.9 kWh/mile and consumed a total of 8.4kWh.
At $0.124/kWh, that whole normal day of driving cost me $1.17 worth of electricity. Compare that to a gas car getting 20mpg (you wish!): $3.90/gal x 2 gal = $7.80 worth of gas.
Additionally, CarWings reports that during my driving yesterday I avoided adding 26 pounds of CO2 to the Austin air by using electricity instead of gas.
I love my LEAF more every day! Still not a single negative to report.
