A car with an internal combustion engine that gets 25 mpg will require
$1,800 in gasoline (at $3 per gallon) over a year of driving (15,000
miles), which works out to $0.12 per mile. The Leaf can be programmed to
start charging in the wee hours, when off-peak electric rates apply—a
feature that makes consumption economical. At $0.11 per kwh, the Leaf
costs $0.026 per mile to operate, or $396 for 15,000 miles—a savings of
about $1,400 (per year).
