I have Tony's range chart. I am confused on a few issues. The chart seems to indicate that I should have several miles (about 12) left after all my bars disappear. At this point I should get a low battery warning - and after about 8 miles a very low battery warning.
I got my recently purchased 2011 Leaf down to one bar and GoM to 4 miles. I'm averaging about 3.9 KwHs. Total trip was 56 miles in 50 degree weather.
My confusion is that as soon as my second-to-last bar disappeared I received a low battery warning when the chart seems to indicate that the warning comes on after the last bar disappears? Make sense?
So, about how much range do I have left in this situation? Do I trust (with some variance of course) the chart or the GoM? Is there a different low battery warning than the warning I received that comes on after all my bars disappear - and then an additional very low battery warning as mentioned in the chart?
I was a little too intimidated to run it further just in case the GoM was spot on.
Thanks for your responses in advance.
