Our family car had an issue and decided to drive to Snoqualmie pass using my Leaf to drop my son off for ski lessons.
You can see the route on the below link.
I charged almost to 100% in North Bend (about half way for me) and thought I should easily make it. However on top, I had only 20% battery left. The L1 charger at the Summit was broken and I barely got back (on limp mode).
How is this possible? Is the range so bad if you go uphill in the cold? Regen downhill saved me a tow truck trip, but only barely.
I even wonder whether my battery pack has issues.
Thoughts?
