I would appreciate everyone helping me understand what travel distance and such I can expect from my brand "new to me" Leaf.
I am writing this post after my very 1st ride home in my car and here is what I discovered from this 1st trip:
1) Drove 23 miles w/ECO Off in city traffic... stop and go traffic, speed mostly between 25 and 50 mph.
(I expect to drive w/o ECO most of the time) BTW - the temperature outside was 59 degrees.
2) Leaving Dealership my Battery Range Gauge showed 72 miles @ a 96% charge level (from gauge directly in front of steering wheel)
3) Once reaching Home the Battery Range Gauge showed 60 miles @ a 70% charge level
So, it appears that the Charge Level of the Battery went down approximately 1% for each mile that I drove.
MY QUESTION: Can I now count on the car being able to drive somewhat near 60 miles at this point since the % of charge is a little bit
higher, or is there some other better way to get a good, reliable feel for how far I can drive my car given the information before me.
Any advice, info, suggestions at this point will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
