Today I got my personal best efficiency of 5.0 on Leaf by evnow on Tue Mar 22, 2011 6:14 pm
Today I got my personal best efficiency of 5.0 on Leaf.

Starting SOC : 80%
Range (till battery low) : 100 Miles (est @ 20kwh)
Range (till turtle) : 110 Miles (est @ 22kwh)
Driving : Mixed with 10 miles freeway, 15 miles suburban (my home is about 6 miles the freeway).
Climate : Sunny & Warm @ 50. No climate control.

Yesterday was a different story : 4.3.

Starting SOC : 100%
Range (till battery low) : 86 Miles (est @ 20kwh)
Range (till turtle) : 94 Miles (est @ 22kwh)
Driving : Mixed with 10 miles freeway, 15 miles suburban (my home is about 6 miles the freeway).
Climate : climate control for 5 miles.

Charging to 100% reduces efficiency since I can't regen much when going downhill on my way out.
