Leaf Spy lets you monitor the last few watts if necessary to complete a trip. But you shouldn't put yourself in that position in the first place. That's like seeing how long you can drive an ICE after the low fuel light comes on. Leaf Spy is most useful as a diagnostic tool to let you see the overall condition of the battery and save you from having to go to the dealer for minor things like remapping the tires after rotations or resetting the door locks.
I did do a level 3 charge yesterday and then did a level 2 charge when I got home, This morning Leaf Spy reported that I'm back up to 363 GIDS 100% health and 79.68 AH. Don't know if it was the level 3 charge or just wonky Nissan sensors and software but I'm a happy camper again.
the ENTIRE value of LEAF Spy is its ability to give you the information you need to plan for every mile of range you have. Leaving 4-5 miles in the tank like Nissan seems to want you to do is not a luxury I have.
