That's a big difference from my experience. Both times I used about 50% from north Colorado springs (woodman) to monument (2nd exit, not even monument hill), no hvac, and I'm a very conservative driver. Then only about 12% (even less I think) from there to south castle rock.

So I made it to Castle Rock with capacity to spare, around 48%, but lost almost 10% just driving up the hills to my girlfriend's house. Stopped by Walgreens before that, and that Walgreen's station had bad reviews so I decided to skip trying to do any charging there. Charged over night at my...

Thanks! (and thanks to the other Castle Rock poster)! Sounds promising for a trip to Castle Rock and even to Denver from Colorado Springs. I'll probably try 105 this weekend. Do you happen to know the speed limit on 105? So when it drops below 50 degrees, you won't try the trip (or any...

I was expecting to charge at my destination using either 110v or a level 2 if it was working (walgreens; 1 station) and had over night to do at least the 110v (girlfriend's house). But I was worried about even making it one way with how fast the range was going down. After about 10 miles, it...

Does slowing down make a huge difference? How slow/fast is recommended to keep the range up? Considering everyone is doing 75 on the freeway between between Co Springs and Castle Rock (or Denver), not sure how I'd be able to slow down to even 55 without getting a lot of people pissed off...

Had my leaf for about a month now. Close to when I first got it, I decided to try a 40 mile trip (fully charged). After going only about 20 miles, I decided I couldn't take the chance. The range had dropped about 40 miles in that 20 miles. I live in Colorado Springs, and the trip was stopped...

I am in Colorado Springs and this is exactly what I am looking at right now. But the state rebate should come out to about $3,500 considering the dealer and Nissan and federal rebates that you have to subtract to compute the state rebate (if you read the state rebate rules carefully). So an...
