Cost per KM of 2014 Leaf vs Prius & Aqua for 5 years.

Here is the analysis of CPK (Cost Per Kilometer) of a 5 year old AZEO in Sri Lanka.

In this we compared the CPK with the car with best resale value in SL today, similar aged Prius XW30 and Aqua too although its one class behind.

We factored Energy, maintenance, Finance and Depreciation costs in real terms for 5 years.And its revealed the CPK of 2014 leaf is much lower than both Prius & Aqua.

This is the bald truth many dosent grasp due to the lack of logical approach and laidback thinking in measuring CPK and TCO, they just say resale value with the difference of buying & selling.We presented these facts and more with the background data in our session held on 30th June.
