If my calculations are correct, with a gallon of gasoline
containing around 40 kW/Hours of energy,<br>
that would give Bill's RAV4EV an equivalent of 136 MPG and
David's Leaf an MPG of 112 MPG<br>

<div>William,</div>

<div> We've had a 2012 RAV4EV for the last 8 months. On
average we are consuming 13.5 KWhrs/day driving it. This
translates to about 46 mi/day, average. For what it's worth the
RAV is Tesla inside (battery, motor, controller...) though is
the 'small' 42 KW battery. Tesla was putting it in the Model S
but I'm not sure if they still do, they advertise just the 60
and 85KW batts now. I added a 4KW array to keep up with the
days when we travel more like 75-100 miles and it's keeping up
quite well, we'll see what the winter holds...may be more
driving the Jetta TDI when the weather sets in.</div>
