How much do you usually drive a day and how much has your electric bill cost just for the leaf? I want to hear what the owners have experienced.
thanks for the info I was expecting it to be like a lot more than that, that's pretty cheap for the cost of gas.GaslessInSeattle said:Our bill is about $30+ for 1200 miles... at 9 cents a kW it comes out to about 2.2 cents a mile. I figure I'm spending about 1/10 per mile to drive this car than our previous! The only type of car I know of that stands to pay for itself in it's lifetime in gas savings.
No difference in my bill. I drive about 500 miles per month. At $0.05/kwh, what is that, $5-$10? :lol:adric22 said:I drive about 10 miles per day, more on the weekends, and I haven't seen any measurable difference in my electric bill.

Your original question isn't very useful, esp. w/o any context as to your electricity rates, location, rate schedule, tiers and your usage vs. those tiers. There's a HUGE variance in electricity costs by state.

As I posted earlier, Since I had the Carwings update done on 8/3, my Dash and Carwings miles/kWh numbers seem to match.
Even more interestingly, the daily Driving Records/electricity consumption now seem to accurately reflect the kWh delivered from my Modified L2, as best as I can calculate by recharge time.
Has anyone tried a 100% charge to Turtle discharge drive since having the update?
What total electricity consumption (kWh) did carwings report-and do you believe it to accurately reflect total battery capacity?
If you have a meter at the wall, what L2 charging efficiency percentage did it show for your recharge, using the Carwings energy consumption report?
Before you have this update done, you may want to check a day’s odometer miles against the same day's CW “miles driven” daily report, as well as another source, and re-check the same after the update.
I suspect Carwings was actually wrong from delivery, and understated mileage by the same 2.5 % as I have seen since the update, and that I just never noticed this relatively small discrepancy.
This could also explain the similar (identical?) 2.5% discrepancy between “dash” and “screen” miles/kWh, which have remained the same on my car, both before and after the update.
Meaning the higher screen number (4.4 m/kWh screen, 4.3 m/kWh dash, on my car since delivery) rather than the dash, may be correct.
