Artigo completo com quadro dos consumos e alguns comentáriosIt's time to add the May data into our 2011 Chevy Volt and 2011 Nissan Leaf fuel consumption summary.
Yeah, I know. Some people don't like my persistent use of the word "fuel" with respect to electricity. Sorry, but it's still the best shorthand there is for stuff you put into a car to make it go -- especially in the case of the Volt, which can be filled up with two kinds.
Above you may also notice that the Volt is plugged in via its 120V home charge cord. That's because the Leaf gets dibs on the 240V charger owing to its utter lack of a range extender, otherwise known as a gasoline back-up engine. If the Volt's battery isn't full, it's no big deal. The same cannot be said of the Leaf.
Once the Leaf is full we swap the Volt onto the 240V charger to make sure it gets topped up, too.
