I have be calculating some figures for our LEAF and it's MPG equivalent which uses the formula:
Miles per gallon = miles per kw * dollars per gallon / dollars per kw.
That number is easy to calculate since I can get the miles per kw from the car.
What about our Electric Cafe Racer?
After letting the morning coffee work it's magic, I remembered I have a Cycle Analyst and looked up the watts
per mile (got to love this device) which showed 96 WPM on the last trip.
According to my excel calculator it is 301 MPG! Woof!
The left side is the LEAF and the right is the Cafe Racer.
The only other major variable I could think of might be charging efficiency, but I am not sure that would be worth the effort?
If you want to make it even more accurate, here is the excel spread sheet .
Please post your efforts and have fun!
