Umm prob not.. We had this discussion at the last meet.. About the RavEV/Tesla against the Leaf..SmartElectric said:The lightness of the car has the biggest impact on performance (something BMW remembered !)
2 heavier vehicles against the Leaf which is much lighter. The Rav once you get it up to speed, put it at 65/70mph... it just cruises because it has the momentum to carry it and needs less (Tesla benefits from the mass but better aero). In stop and go... They dogs..
The Leaf however... push it hard past (48mph is the aero drag point?) 59 or 60?? and you're just burning needless energy because it's light and doesn't have the weight to carry it.
However the Leaf wins in stop and go traffic! No one wants to drive 45-50mph on the frwy. That's unrealistic :roll: Today's roads are 70+
EDIT: 91040 can.. 40miles to home on 17% :lol:
