Utility to Compare “Tailpipes”

In response to my comparison of the Nissan Leaf and Versa, a few EV advocates have asked how the GHG emissions of other gasoline and electric vehicles charged from the grid might compare. I used those two vehicles in my analysis only because Nissan designed the Leaf as a variation on the Versa platform, and thus they are the most comparable in terms of size, style, dimensions, and capacity. To accomodate such requests, I have programmed a simple utility using the same formulas so that users can input the EPA mpg of any gasoline car and see the results when compared with the EV of their choice.

Enjoy!


NOTE: To run this program, you might need to first download and install the latest Adobe Shockwave plug-in (the full version, not the “slim” version):
If, after installing the plug-in, you still cannot run the program, you should consult Adobe’s shockwave support page to troubleshoot and correct the problem on your computer.


If you have the Shockwave plug-in installed, click the button to launch the utility:
