I have an electric car as well. The numbers you give show a consumption of just 
over 7 kW/100 km, this is very low compared to my Renault Zoe (the same 
platform as the Nissan Leaf) which averages about 12,5 to16 kW/100 km which 
give me a cost per 100 km of about €1,30. Also charging on the cheap rate which 
the car does automatically.
