Woo HOOOOO! I think I'm getting 170mpg !!
Or am I. Let's see if I can royally botch the "conversion" process below (kWh into mpg's).
Sorry for the grainy camera phone picture, taken in the glare of the day this Friday -
A 34kWh battery in the Leaf, charged up to 100% will get you down the road 100 miles ... so I'm thinking 5 miles per kWH would be 5(miles) time 34kWh equals 170 miles ?? right?
. . . . . and since 1 gallon of gas equals (appx) 34kWh of energy ... then one gallon is equivalent to 5 miles per kWh ... times 34kWh ... right?
We only have about 300 miles on our Leaf so far . . . . and that's roughly equivalent to the range of one tank of gas.
Any way - EPA says we get 99mpg - so . . . what are other folks doing ... miles per kWh wise.
