Hmmm ... some tool that calculates that number ?rainnw said:Your drive will consume 29.66kWh, and your battery (and its not really usable) is 24kWh.

Which one ?rainnw said:Yes, its generally quite accurate.
Where do you drive and what is the avg speed ?bradleygibson said:By the way, thank you guys for all the great information. I'm driving this car as gently as I can to see how I can stretch the mileage, but I don't seem to be able to make much of a difference. According to the dash, I'm averaging 4.1-4.2 miles/kWh, whether I drive in eco mode or not (!)

bradleygibson said:I'm wondering if I roll at 50mph on the highway vs. the stop & go of side streets if I'd get better mileage.

All this to tell you: if I count all the good sex out, it was the best experience yet with a car. So enjoy the oportunity the Leaf grants you to spend the night in a small provincial town, to eat a bad pig and cheese sandwich while strolling leisurely along what you would call a county fair, to get to know places you would normally only speed through, or to go home at 4 am without being drunk. I can't see why on earth a mother and her baby woulnd't enjoy it too.

Well, leg one is complete, and we're still alive to report it. It didn't get off to a very good start, though. My wife asked me to go out and get the car cooled off and ready to go, saying she would "be out in a minute." I first unplugged it then powered it up. The A/C started blowing cold air very quickly, as usual. Then I waited. And waited. I think it was ten minutes later that she joined me. So I eased out of the driveway, babied it up the tiny hill that is the first block from our house, and watched for the m/kWh meter to come on. It soon did -- at 0.9 m/kWh! Then she asked me to run into the drugstore and get a birthday card while she waited in the car. "And leave the air conditioner on, please." All told, I was at 2.2 m/kWh when I merged onto the freeway, and the first bar disappeared before we left the city limits. (That's the Morgan Hill "city" limits, not all that far, really.)planet4ever said:So, now I'm planning my own "insane" trip for next week - 87 miles from south of San Jose to Antioch, all but a mile of it on freeways (101, 680, 4) and including the Sunol Grade. Oh, and of course 87 miles back home a day or two later.
