Buying the Leaf , I went into it fully knowing it would be an in town only car .

For out of town , we have the Chevy Sonic ICE car . Recently went to visit family , 400 miles , going , 400 miles returning + about 200 miles while we were there . It gets 34 - 36 on the highway with A/C running . With $ 2.00 gas , not too expensive .

I am curious to see what happens to our electric bill . Charging the Leaf . No solar or wind energy . 100% on the grid . Last month we paid $ 97.09 for 900 kw . And of course we are running A/C . We have been having some temps at 100 or above . So the bill would be increasing , any way , w/o the Leaf .

Photo is with the Leaf charging Level 1 120 VAC .

God bless
