I just calculated the cost of electricity for my first full month (September) of use of my Leaf. I used 309 kWh to go almost 1300 miles. Where I live, Ameren charges 8 cents per Kwh, so my total monthly expense for September was $24.72 compared to approximately $303.00 that I would have spent (based on 18 mpg and $3.50/gal gasoline).
September was a typical month. I anticipate coming out ahead about $275.00 per month by using the Leaf over my other ICE vehicles. Even deducting depreciation, insurance, and any other things, my Leaf is an amazing MONEY SAVER!!!!
