Weâve put 1000 miles per month on our SL Leaf and have averaged 3.7 miles/Kwh. At $.09/Kwh super off peak rate and 10% loss from AC to DC, I figure about $27/mo for 1000 miles. Compare the 13 mpg SUV that the Leaf replaced and that saves $300/ mo. in gas ( at $3.90/gal). That savings just about pays for the car lease.
Two other very important components of the water cycle are evaporation and transpiration. These processes return water to the atmosphere as gaseous water vapor. And though they are similar processes, the water comes from different sources.
Another form of evaporation that contributes to the water cycle is TRANSPIRATION. Here, water given off through the pores of plants and animals joins the atmosphere as a vapor. Check, for instance, your own breath on a cold day. What you are seeing is water vapor being given off by your body.
