EPA’s New Mileage Estimates for the Volt and the Leaf

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced new mileage figures for electric cars like the 2011 Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt. The EPA converted the cost of gasoline into the cost of electricity, and then calculated the miles per “gallon.”

The Nissan Leaf is pure electric and is EPA rated at the equivalent of 99 mpg.

The Chevrolet Volt is different than other electric cars or even hybrids. The Volt is an electric car that also has a gasoline engine to extend the car’s range. When driven less than 40 miles it uses no gas at all.

The EPA has determined that the stickers on the Volt will display the equivalent of miles per gallon while on electricity, the actual mpg while the car is running on gas, and combined mileage for comparison purposes with other cars.

In the Volt’s case, it will get the equivalent of 93 mpg on battery power, 37 mpg while on gasoline only, and 60 mpg when both are calculated.
