This evening I left my 2012 LEAF at New River Nissan and borrowed a 2015 SL to keep overnight. I drove a typical daily ~15 miles for me and then charged it at home.
I used the Gidding's SOC meter (http://www.wwwsite.com/puzzles/socmeter/) and was surprised to see it read over 104% after a full charge! Does that mean that the new "Lizard" battery is about one kWh higher capacity than the original battery or that the usable battery capacity is about one kWh higher than previously? Was this the case for the 2013 & 2014 batteries?
The calculated range from the % increase when charged worked out to be about 84 miles.
