Yep. I use my Land Cruiser for that. Quite the opposite of a Leaf. 12mpg downhill with a tailwind.

Thanks! Yes and no. Yes, the setup you describe preserves battery life (per Nissan's advice) by limiting the amount of time sitting idle at 100% charge. No, because with this setup, charging does not begin until the dawn hours. This leaves me with limited mileage if I want to use the car in...

No, you're right. Just thought it would be fun to troll other Leaf owners by asking a technical question. :roll: Actually, since I do own a Leaf, I know that the on-board charging timer can be set to stop at either 80% or 100%. Not arbitrary, but fine for what I need. The problem is that the...

Yes. This was my first thought as well. However, as far as I can tell, the car's on-board charge timer only allows one charging "event" per 24 hours, so the 80% or 100% toggle applies to a whole day. In other words, I see no way to charge to 80% and 100% within a single day. Is there a way to...

I'm not sure where to post this, since it involves both the car and the EVSE, so I'm reaching out to two subforums. Perhaps someone has figured it out. Some background: I have a Siemens Versicharge (non-networked) and a 2013 SL. I drive the car very consistently, about 50 miles/day on weekdays...

My Siemens EVSE has a delay function. Are you saying that I am better off postponing the nightly charge so that the battery tops out shortly before I drive away in the AM? Currently, I charge immediately upon arrival. I prefer the idea of having the car ready ASAP.

Hey there. I'm in Seattle and bought my '13 SL as a CPO in July '15. ~24K with 12/12 at the moment. I have a charging/battery health related question: I use my Leaf almost exclusively for commuting and have a very predictable daily 48 mile highway round trip. The car's guess-o-meter registers...
