Nissan Leaf Rated 99 mpg

, Posted in: Auto, Author: admin (November 23, 2010)

As the days for Nissan’s test with electric car success come nearer, the Environmental Protection Agency has rated it a 99 MPG. This means that the mileage of a Nissan Leaf is 99 miles over a gallon of gas. Now, we know the since it is an electric vehicle what is the logic behind numbers? It is simple. The EPA wants people to know that the per gallon equivalent in case of Leaf is 99 miles, thus nearly doubling the mileage achieved by a Toyota Prius.

The EPA has also rated it a full charge mileage at 73 miles. So, this again means that the car will go up to 77 miles on full electric charge. The company says that the full recharge of the car can be done in 7 hours.

In a nutshell, you need to charge the car every for 7 hours before you can drive it for 70 miles. It may be easy for some folks and cumbersome for others to leave the charging station on the entire night.
