Nissan's "Leaf," which lists at about $30,000, gets just over 100 miles
per charge and is opting for a larger capacity battery for the 2017
model, a change that promises about 150 miles per charge. I don't know
if that includes running the AC. I drive about that many miles per week
unless we're going somewhere out of the local area.


I doubt it includes the A/C or the lights. A typical 24,000 BTU
inverter A/C unit (roughly what a car uses) will use 2.5 KWH so it
will eat some battery. Heat will be an even bigger hit.
