Good idea.
I'm going to see if I can get it for a full day.

The limited worse-case-scenario of 35 miles in a 30kWh Leaf should be factored in your decision.
I've seen close to that with a 24kWh Leaf in sub zero temps, windy and maybe a bit of snow, I'd hope to get at least 40+ miles with the 30kWh Leaf.....LeftieBiker said:The limited worse-case-scenario of 35 miles in a 30kWh Leaf should be factored in your decision.
Did you mean 24kwh Leaf, or did someone actually manage to get only 35 miles from a 30kwh Leaf?

How far would a 30kWh Leaf go at 1.5 miles per kWh?

Close to 50 miles. Call it 45.

Or when snow pack starts to melt after a freak winter called "snowmagedon" and you got to keep the pedal pushed nearly to the metal to keep a speed of 20mph. Once I got stuck in a snow bank with chains on... in a parking lot, and used several % you get out of it.
Anyhow there have been a few days I have averaged close to 1.5k miles per kWh, and many times couldn't keep that even on flat ground going a steady speed. How far would a 30kWh Leaf go at 1.5 miles per kWh?
But that's not every day. All January I averaged 2.4 miles per kWh. Now I'm averaging above 3 every day. By summer I hope to be averaging above 4.

Is my math wrong or are you saying that the 30kWh Leafs actual put out 34kWh of energy? (50/1.5=33.33333) :mrgreen:
That would be awesome if it were true!
The way I see it a 24kWh Leaf only puts out 21kWh when brand new or 87.5%. So a 30kWh Leaf must put out about the same or (30 x 87.5%) 26.25kWh. Now take that and multiply it by 1.5 miles per kWh and you get 39.4 miles until dead, on the side of the road.
Battery capacity is measured in kWh, not KW. There's no "30 kW Leaf".webeleafowners said:So what worst case scenario would give only 35 miles in a 30 KW Leaf.
LeftieBiker said:I think that the 30kwh Leaf only reserves the same amount (2 kwh) as the 24, but I don't know that. So I guess 40-42 miles. Don't you get more than 1.5 m/kwh when traveling longer distances?
That's a very appropriate handle for a Leaf driver given what someone observed at https://priuschat.com/threads/star-trek-related-specials-documentaries-discussion.100859/page-3#post-2423421. :shock: :mrgreen:binks said:I bought the 2017 SV 30kwh
