    Battery usage duringe pre-heating

    I've already read those topics. May be I missed somethings but it doesn't explain why, technicaly, current needs to be drained from the battery since de L2 Charger should be able to give enough power for the cabin's heating.

    Battery usage duringe pre-heating

    A simple question. While "pre-heating" my Leaf, my L2 charger is in fonction but energy from the battery is drained... I often start the car with 97 ou 96% SOC , instead of 100% when I dont pre-heat. Since the charger is plugged and in function, but not charging the car, why is it so ...

    Hi... Is it me or, audio quality for XM channels is horrible ? My FM stations sounds ok, but with XM it's high pitch, distorted, you can easily hear the aliasing caused by poor sampling rate. If it's normal, why do people suscribe to such horrible audio ? Honnestly, I never listen those XM...

    Any memory effect or loss from large charge?

    ! According to that... let say I use 1 third of my battery every day... It would be the same for the battery life to recharge 1/3 of the capacity every day than a full charge every 3 days !

    Any memory effect or loss from large charge?

    A) Is there any problem to recharge the Leaf's battery when it's not empty...Let's say I used it from all bars to 6 bars left... Is there any memory effect if I recharge it while it's still 70% full ? B) Despite the "possible" memory effect, will my battery life be more shortened by large...

    Charging from 80% to 100% -- What's the issue?

    Is it really the only issue ??? If so, since I usually drive 40 miles a day, I shouldn't care about 80% or 100% !

    Programmed heating vs Iphone trigged heating

    YOU ARE RIGHT !!! A tought it was the "heating start time" so I programmed it 15 minutes prior to my departure ... So, since I leave at 7am, I should program it to 7am , not 6:45am Thanks !!!!

    Programmed heating vs Iphone trigged heating

    I don't know if that's a problem or a normal behavior ... If I start a pre-heating using my iphone, 15 min later, my car is WARM and comfortable ! If I program an automatic pre-heating with the car settings, 15 min after the pre-heating begins, the car is "barely" warmer than before... Is...

    Max range in Qc

    My car was BRAND NEW... I guess the estimation made by the car is influenced by a couple of previous ride/recharge. Since my 2 first ride were on cold weather, with the car sleeping outside, I guess that influenced the estimation ... Yesterday was a lot warmer (around 32). I made easily 60...
