Yes - EPA really screwed up with this. Only on two Japanese cars they have implemented this weird idea of averaging 80% and 100% charge ranges (only on Leaf & RAV 4 EV). They don't do it for S (which has a similar range and normal charge modes).EPA shows LEAF at 75 miles of range an the SparkEV at 82 miles of range http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=32154&id=33558&id=33640
Essentially, EPA range is no longer apples to apples comparison.
