If my calculations are correct, with a gallon of gasoline containing
around 40 kW/Hours of energy,
that would give Bill's RAV4EV an equivalent of 136 MPG and David's
Leaf an MPG of 112 MPG

William,
We've had a 2012 RAV4EV for the last 8 months. On average we
are consuming 13.5 KWhrs/day driving it. This translates to about 46
mi/day, average. For what it's worth the RAV is Tesla inside
(battery, motor, controller...) though is the 'small' 42 KW battery.
Tesla was putting it in the Model S but I'm not sure if they still do,
they advertise just the 60 and 85KW batts now. I added a 4KW array to
keep up with the days when we travel more like 75-100 miles and it's
keeping up quite well, we'll see what the winter holds...may be more
driving the Jetta TDI when the weather sets in.

Friends:
Have any of you researched the energy usage for an electric car?
The car in question is a Tesla Sedan.
Thanks in advance.
William
