To: ev@lists.evdl.org Date: Monday, July 7, 2014, 10:53 AM With a little help from my friends, I am corrected: according to http://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/charging-range/range/ "The Nissan LEAF® can get you 84 miles on a single charge. [*] Speed, topography, load, and accessory use can significantly affect the estimated range." So, recalculating the list using 84 miles @ $3200 for the Leaf EV: Leaf: ~381 (=32000/84) i3: ~511 (=43000/81) Tesla-S: ~337 (=70000/208) The Tesla Model-S is still the overall better deal using my funny-numbers above, and the Leaf is still the better lower-purchase-cost deal. I hope everyone realizes that range figures are a moving target (everyone's range will vary). The mynissanleaf.com forum had a chart that showed some speed to range ratios that some might find interesting: http://www.smidgeindustriesltd.com/leafrangewithtesla.gif But I stuck with using the EPA numbers for each EV, not because I believe the EPA range is fact, but to compare apples with apples. {brucedp.150m.com} On Mon, Jul 7, 2014, at 09:21 AM, Jamie K via EV wrote: > Note that the LEAF is currently rated at 84 mile EPA range, not 75. > Taking that into account, and if you look at the actual price people are > likely to pay post tax incentives, the LEAF currently has the lowest > cost per range mile of those three EVs. - -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/What-serious-EVs-are-available-at-what-price-how-do-they-compare-tp4670257p4670270.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
