The EPA has come up with this formula for figuring out the gasoline equivalent for an electric car. The say 33.7 Kilowatt hours = 1 gallon of gas. But in NJ in the summer electric prices are 16 cents per kilowatt/hour and gasoline is $2.80 a gallon. That makes the calculation 17.5 killowatt hours per gallon. So instead of the Nissan Leaf getting 99 mpg, in NJ it is getting 51.4 mpg. HOW DOES THAT SAVE MONEY?
