A Nissan LEAF owner has averaged 2,000 miles of driving per month since taking delivery of his electric hatchback in August 2011.
"One man’s story of using the all-electric Nissan LEAF for long-distance driving was recently posted at Torquenews.com. His tale defies the stereotypes of electric car range and charging. How did Brian Keez of Fontana, Calif. manage to put about 2,000 miles a month on his 2011 Nissan LEAF?
The IT professional routinely drives to customer sites as far as 50 miles away from his home. Get this: He never bought home charging equipment. Instead, he uses a combination of the upgraded Nissan-issued portable charger (from evseupgrade.com)—plugged into a standard 220-volt outlet in his garage, as well as anywhere he can get juice on the go at 110v or 220v—and the 480-volt DC Quick Charger at Mitsubishi’s nearby headquarters in Cypress, Calif. He also uses the Level 2 charger at the Nissan dealership not far away from his work. In other words, he’s an opportunistic EV charger. “Since almost all public charging is still free, I truly only pay for half of the power that I use to drive,” writes Keez.
Keez says that knowing his route, and other key variables—speed, acceleration, terrain, heat, AC and winds—is all it takes to eliminate range anxiety. “There is nothing to fear, but the unknown. Well, that’s all that range anxiety is, fear of the unknown,” writes Keez.
In the daytime, with no AC, Keez experiences a “realistic” range of 100 miles. Gradual climbing reduces that range, but not in a huge way, according to Keez. He came close to running out juice just one time—after 80 miles of all-highway driving—and only because he refused to stop. Nonetheless, he advises others to allow “wisdom to prevail over impatience.”
“It was a lifestyle change, but one I was willing to make and it really hasn’t been as big of a change as I expected,” writes Keen. “To answer the popular question of whether or not electric vehicles are the future—they are definitely MY future.”"
