Having announced that the Volt would get 230mpg, GM most likely thought that they would have other automakers shaking in their booties. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case with Nissan who have stepped in to say that their Leaf EV is also a very fuel efficient car. Just how fuel efficient, you ask? Something to the tune of 367 mpg.
Below is a tweet from Nissan’s EV twitter account:
Nissan Leaf = 367 mpg, no tailpipe, and no gas required. Oh yeah, and it’ll be affordable too!
While this most likely isn’t confirmed by the EPA either, Nissan seems pretty confident that their Leaf EV will be far more fuel efficient than GM’s Chevy Volt. We’ll have to wait until both cars hit the market before we pass final judgement.
