Having an EV you learn about the basics of electric power, charge rates and kilowatt-hours or KWh. . Very basic maths gives the LEAF a power usage of close to 4 miles per KWh. Power companies also use KWh as the base charge unit for billing consumers. A quick note on power compared to energy. So much for power.

Since Power = Current x Voltage you can put the same amount of power through a conductor at a lower current with a higher voltage. This is important since the power dissipated by a wire is Current^2 x Resistance a lower current means less power lost on the lines and more efficiency for a high power load such as a car.
