Apologies if this is already in another thread, as I suspect it is. However, I couldn't find it with the search function.

We have a lot of data on the battery degradation of 2011 and 2012 model year LEAFs in the wiki, but I've not seen a similar data compilation for the 2013 and 2014 model years. Since we know there were some battery changes made for 2013 I wonder if any differences have been seen in the battery degradation characteristics. Is any data available?

Thanks!
 
I assume from the lack of answers that in fact no collection of battery performance data is available for 2013 & 2014 LEAFs.

Without this kind of battery degradation data from the 2013 & 2014 LEAFs how sure are we that the battery degradation patterns we saw for the 2011-2012 LEAFs still persist?
 
I highly recommend people post their own data for these newer "second GEN" vehicles to the Plug in America battery survey. The survey is completed, but it has an excellent input form which then adds your LEAF info to the chart of all vehicles surveyed. My own LEAF is a 2013, and has shown remarkably low degradation in the 1.5 years and 9500 miles it has been on the road.

That's because you live in an ideal climate for the Leaf; a 2011 would have done just as well where you live.
