Hey Everybody,
Just got my Leaf last week. I have the good fortune of having a Nissan CHAdeMO charger near my work, which is free to use. It is at a mall, that is covered, and out of the sun. Our normal summer temps are mild and in the 70's. I would most likely charge in the morning when temps are even cooler.
It's hard to pass up FREE electricity. But, how often would you use it, while avoiding negative affects on battery life? Is is mainly a temperature issue? And should I shut is off when it hits ~80-85%?
Thanks for your input!
