THE 2023 MILEAGE REPORT: Introduction
Here it is, dummies. It’s the big one: Poor Hartnett’s Almanack of Annual Mileage Reporting, Bird Migration Forecasts, Liniment Formulae & Homeric Fan Fiction, 17th Edition.
Our two vehicles in 2023:
- 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance, a battery electric compact crossover with a 75-ish kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery pack that can travel roughly 300 local miles or 250 highway miles on a full charge and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph faster than nearly every production car you’ve ever seen with your own eyeballs and still top 120 MPGe while carrying a family of four and all of their junk on a three-week, 4,400-mile road trip with the AC blasting.
- 2013 Nissan Leaf S, a battery electric compact five-door hatchback with a 24 kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery pack that can travel around 65 miles on a full charge.
How much did charging our cars add to our home electricity use? It accounted for 1.66 MWh out of a total 12.13 MWh, about 13.7 percent.
