Hi.
I have a 2013 LEAF from october 13 with 42k (kms) (26k miles)and today we have just bought another one to my wife. The new one is a Demo and we got it in a Nissan dealer near Madrid. I checked the battery with LBA and the SOH was 90%. I didnt like it so much because my "old" one still have 92%. However the price was no bad and we bought the car. We got it this afternoon. The "new" one was 99% charged and while they were preparing the car I charged the "old" one with the ChaDeMo. In the moment we leave the dealer place the old one was 82%. There are 50 kms (31,2 miles) from the dealer to my house.
And now the result: My old LEAF reached my house with 28%, that is the comsumption was 82-28=54 %, what is perfectly normal because my house is 350 m aprox higher tan the dealer (the speed was 70-60 miles/h). The "new one" reached home with 8%!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!, so the comsuption was 91%. The two cars were all the time at the same speed (always in tándem), the heater was fixed at the same temperatura, and everything else was the same. I called inmediatly to the dealer and the told me to go tomorrow with the to check the car. I told the dealer to put my money back inmediatly but the battery is still reporting 90% of SOH.
Why do you think could be the problem to have this so different comsuptions (91 vs 54) if the LBA SOH is very similar?
Thank you so much!!!
