If you're wondering what $1/gallon equivalent really means, here's the answer: the cheapest electric rate in our region is roughly $0.14/kWh (on one of the special EV time-of-use rates) and the Nissan Leaf will go about 3.5 miles on each kWh if you drive conservatively...so.... ($1.00 / $0.14) = 7.1 kWh x 3.5 miles = 25 miles. So there you have it: $1.00 to drive 25 miles.
