How is your battery holding up?

My 62 kWh pack is doing fairly well so far: 165.99 AHr, 94.10% SOH, 100.67% Hx at 23,692 miles as of this morning. Highest "GID" reading ever recorded was 737 and reading was 703 at full charge so battery is at 95.4% of original capacity using GID numbers as of 23,692 miles.

I live in Utah, so that can be considered a relatively warm climate. My 2018 LEAF SV 40kwh is down to 88% and the range have dropped noticeably. I did a range test the other day and got 68 miles at 75 mph. That's 100% down to 3%. By the way, 75 mph is our speed limits out here, and most cars are doing 80+. So that is considered normal driving. When it was new, I would get about 100 miles going the same speed.

I am trading in 2018 for 2020 lease next week. I decided that leasing is a way to go for this car because lease pricing is so cheap. I currently already lease one 2020 LEAF. Both of these are driven by my teenage kids.
