Nissan scheduled an appointment for me to meet a regional technical specialist. We'll see.

Thanks for the data. I am going to try to improve driving efficiency. Today I was able to hit 5.0 miles per kWh. I agree I was leaving more energy than I thought in the last two bars but I didn't expect to only have 17.0 kwh left this early. The warning for me was how fast the charging time...

If 21.5 is considered full then 15% is 18.275 kwh and the next bar would be 16.93 kwh. You may be right soon.

I need to research more why I am only show 1BL and 17 kWh at 100% but what is very clear is that I am in the same club but I haven't lost as much as others have. It's a lot like losing half your money to Bernie Madoff. It could have been worse but it doesn't give me a warm feeling either. I...

It is correct the class action unfortunatetly focused on the bars not the percent loss and nissan can modify the formula for calculating bars. Nissan only did the 5yr/60k mile degredation warranty to settle this lawsuit. If all 12 bars were equal that would make sense but as you point out the...

Im close. I view once Leaf Spy and other battery tests show below 15.05 kWh that will be 70% capacity or 30% degredation loss. If 21.5 kWh is full then 21.5 x 70% = 15.05 kWh. I am at 17 kwh now. I think I will be down that far in 14 months at this rate.

Between 5-8 years warranty only covers battery completely dying right?

Here I have the problem of cold weather that takes 10-15% + any heat in cabin for couple months year.

Part of the problem is I baby the car. I get 4.5 miles per kwh. I may start charging at work and home. I have 14 months left to 5yr 60k. Im just not getting the range I used to and will be forced to charge at work. Daily commute < 50 miles.

I show 11 of 12 small bars but my guess is it will drop again to 10 of 12 soon. I lost the first bar after 30k but not sure exactly. Nissan is telling me the 17.0 KwH remaining at full charge from Leaf Spy is bad data and that there is no way to know the battery degredation. Right now all I...

Understood. So if I run it to one bar left and trickle charge with power meter wouldn't that be a foolproof way to determine what the battery is actually holding? The real test is usable power. How much power do I have to drive?

I have had my Nissan LEAF since 1/2012 and I love it but the battery continues to degrade. My car charges from 3 bars in under 4 hours or 12KwH added to the battery. It charged from 5 bars to 12 in under 2 hours at the dealer. Leaf Spy reports 93.8% SOC 219 GIDS and 17 KwH at 100% with 11 of...
