The CAFE standard must not be confused with the EPA Label ratings. The announcement regarding fuel economy standards can be very missleading. The federal regulations, as established by the NHTSA, are the CAFE or Corporate Average Fuel Economy rating for an auto maker. This CAFE rating, expressed in mpg, is different than the EPA Label rating, or the rating that all consumers see on the Monroney (Window) sticker for a new car. Both these ratings are expressed in MPG, however they are derived by different testinng methods. The CAFE rating, established back in the ’70s, utilizes less drive cycles that the new 2008 5-Cycle EPA rating method. The CAFE rating is always less that the EPA rating. It is highly unlikely that a consumer will obtain the CAFE fuel economy rating. There are many subcompact and compact vehicles, that are NOT hybrids, on the road today that can meet the 39 mpg CAFE rating.

I like the Nissan EV, but unless the drive cycle is pretty level, I wouldn’t say it gets at least 100 mile range between charges. Because of dead battery phobia history indicates that most drivers will plan on about 50 mile range. I would suggest 80 as a good number to stay out of trouble. For the average 40 mile commute it works just fine.
