Also a single data point, but my Leaf averages a bit more than 4 miles per kWh, or slightly less than 250 Wh per mile. I'm not trying to make a claim that the Leaf is better--it depends greatly on the sort of driving that you are doing, but I don't buy that the Tesla has a significant advantage either.

- goodcanadian 6y agoPerhaps, I wasn't clear, but I was comparing to the 300 Wh per mile rating claimed for the Leaf upthread (I haven't looked it up for myself). I am comfortably beating that in real world use. Edit: the point is that it is not clear that Tesla is much more efficient which was the original claim at the start of all this.
- CrazyStat 6y agoFair point. I don't know much about the Leaf; I was just going by the numbers I could find online.
