I just put up our outdoor LED lights and now that I have a Kill A Watt, I'm able to measure the power usage for these lights. We put up eight strings of LED lights and they are using only 19 Watts! That's less than a 20 Watt bulb for our whole display!
Used seven hours a night, that's only 4 kWh for the month.
We discarded all of our old incandescent Christmas lights two years ago and we're all LED for both inside and outside Christmas lights now. A quick search showed that the lowest wattage incandescent Christmas lights are 5 Watts each, so the savings is quite large.
I suggest that you consider making a similar change. The Watts you save will be able to power your LEAF for free.
