A Year of Driving with Electrons

Actually, it hasn't been quite a full year since took delivery on January 18th, but it's easier to keep records on a calendar year basis. Here's the data for 2011:

• 8,302 miles
• 2,693 kWh of electricity
• 1,130 lbs CO2
• $312 operating expense
• 2 low-battery warnings
• 0 strandings

Compared to the car we were previously using, we saved approximately $700 and 3,500 lbs of CO2.
