Here is some COLD weather data from MN for those who can interpret.
2012 Leaf with 10 battery capacity bars.
Started from unheated garage, used climate control to warm up somewhat (about halfway). LeafSpy says: 69.5 SOC. 11.8 kwh remain. 152 Gids (54.1%). Outside temp -6 F
Drove about 2 miles, city, slow, defrost or "heater" on, at only 1 or 2 fan bars. You can't not do this, the windows ice up inside in about a minute, with only 1 adult in the car. Parked for slightly over an hour outdoors, unplugged, no preheat. Drove home about 2 miles. Temp now -9 F
SOC now 60.1, 10.2 kwh remain, 132 Gids (47%)
Ecopia aftermarket tires, in the 38-39 psi range. Hey, it's cold out there! I don't wanna fix this right now. I aim for 40 usually.
By the way I have snow tires in the garage and don't yet understand why I would need them. This is my first winter with a Leaf.
