14000 miles

I've owned my Nissan Leaf for about a year. Today the odometer reached 14000 miles. I'm still thrilled about owning an electric vehicle and excited to drive it every day. Recently my 20 mile commute turned into a 40 mile commute so I'm extra happy about my EV purchase. I have no doubt it will save me money in 2014. Some stats:


  • I've driven 14,000 miles at a fuel economy of 3.8 mi/kWh
  • I've used 3,684 kWh of electricity
  • I've done 288 charges for a total of 2,000kWh at Chargepoint stations
  • I've charged 1684 kWh at L1 or L2 at home, and DC FC stations
  • I've avoided using more than 500 gallons of gasoline 


Here's to another year of clean and quiet driving in my Leaf. Cheers!
