DaveinOlyWA said:Yesterday drove to lowest charge on 2013. Drive was 89.3 miles. Morning commute was 60-63 mph (speedometer reading) with a couple slowdowns due to traffic. Was a late day so night commute was between 65-73 MPH (done on purpose due to the hour and wanting to see if LEAF could do it) with last 20 miles all at 70+ MPH. made it home with .7 Kwh.
its funny because up till now, I thought I would hit turtle when 1.3 Kwh was remaining and that did not happen so have to think there is something amiss here when a new pack has 22.7 kwh available. add the 1.3 for turtle and that is the whole 24 kwh pack...
ya, something not right and I suspect Nissan instrumentation to be the culprit
Yes Dave, something is not right, given that you're one of the few with the very high AHr capacities being
reported, i.e. ~ 66 Ahr since new and with over 9K miles. My Leaf had a little over 60 AHr when new and now
is at over 9K miles and it's at 59 AHr. The good news is that my typical distance traveled is 80 miles to LBW
and GOM reports 17-18 miles remaining. My nominal freeway driving speed is 50-55 mph with a resulting
efficiency of 5.2 miles/KWh. The Leaf is charged to 100% five days per week.
So Dave, based on your capacity being reported (66 AHr), you should easily be getting 88 miles to LBW
and about 17 miles remaining for a nominal range over 100 miles.
