After a conversation at a friend's place, I looked up real world range and mileage data for these 2 cars. In the SF bay area both cares with 20k miles cost around the same $14k used. Battery life on leaf is 60k miles. Assume that both cars are used for 60k miles. Assuming that off-peak charging costs 10cents per Kwh. My finding was that both cars cost exactly 13 cents per mile based on $6k for the leaf battery. What do you think?
