Will someone please try to explain to "SageBrush" (and others) how the EPA range and efficiency numbers are actually determined?
Maybe that will solve this great mystery...

See MY 2017 LEAF application for EPA certification, city and highway cycle range and kWh recharge accepted:SageBrush said:...The combined EPA city/highway efficiency result for both the 30 kWh and 40 kWh models is 301 Wh per mile.
In your preferred units, 3.32 miles per kWh...
The EPA does its testing as follows:
The car is charged to full;
Driven on the test cycles until it stops;
then the kWh at the meter to charge it to full is measured.
The distance driven divided by the energy (kWh) at the meter consumed, multiplied by 33.7 gives the MPGe...
