So I have a 2013 Leaf S. I recently had several things done to the car:
1. New tires. Goodyear brand from Costco
2. Alignment fixed.
3. 2 safety recalls fixed.
All of this was done within a 2 day span. Shortly after I noticed that my range has decreased about 10% from before. On my normal drive to and from work (on a 80% charge), I normally have about 25%-30% battery left by the time I get home. After having the items done to the car, I noticed I am getting about 15% battery left by the end of the day. I even try to drive differently (slower, more local, and longer coasting distances) to try to get more range. I'm wondering if anyone here has an idea of why this has happened.
I dropped the car off today and told the service adviser about the issue I'm having, and he said new tires and alignment should help with the range and not degrade it. So the only thing I can conclude is that the safety recall (braking issue fixed) may have something to do with hit. I do notice that after the safety recall fix, that the annoying harsh braking has stopped.
