Wow, I cant recall a single person who hasn't asked me this and I cant recall ever giving anything more than a ballpark. This spreadsheet is long overdue and took me a long time to make (Excel is NOT like riding a bicycle, only a year and I had forgotten how to build in formulas and what not). All the values vary off of the Cost of Gas, Cost of Electricity, Annual Km fields so you can use it so simulate any scenario (eg when we are paying UK gas prices). You can also compare any other vehicle by changing the fields in grey such as Maintinence Cost per Km, L/100Km and for EREV's Km/kWh which is by default set to blend 50/50 with gas usage. Fire me an email at gsylte@regencyauto.com and I can send you the Excel version of it. All of the maintenance costs are pulled from yahoo autos "first 5 years of ownership" averaged out at 20k/year and converted into per-km. For the leaf I got a quote directly from our service department.
Bear in mind the Leaf blows ALL of these cars away both in ride quality and amount of features. Interesting highlights include break even with a Honda Civic around 4 years, first year against Prius, and the only two plug ins (Prius and Volt) being of absolutely no competition whatsoever to the Leaf.
