I noticed the LEAF’s energy consumption while booted up was just .25 KW. The inverter, multiple ECU’s dash and MFD displays are powered up and we are only consuming 250W? That is a very well designed system to put it bluntly!
...
Acceleration to a stop sign about 1/2 of a mile away and it had more pickup than I had suspected while still maintaining a 3.5 to 4 mile/KW per the ECD. Wow, accelerating to over 30 mph with the ECD showing less than 300 Wh/mile? I have never been in an automobile that could do that! EVER!
...
Now back through a number of stop signs and lights and its back towards the launch. A pegged iECD and the aECD is climbing fast. 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8 and then 6.9 as I turn into the Hotel parking lot. I place the shifter to P and the DTE reads 51 miles. For a non-hypermiling friendly drive route thanks to the lights, signs non-priority routing and a short burst of lower highway speed, 6.9 miles/kWh or 144 Wh/mile is the best I have ever achieved in anything and that includes the Honda Insight at over 200 mpg after conversion!
