Hi,
I am a new happy 2015 Nissan leafer. I get a good feel factor driving it wrt not gas guzzling but miss my SUV driving a bit. Especially when folks almost tailgate and stare even when going in the far most right lane or middle lane around speed limit. Well can't make everybody happy.
Anyways, my question to folks who have been using leaf for about 1 to 2 years regarding the battery life. I have a total work commute of about 70 miles per day. I currently charge full and go in always B mode and end of day still left with about 25% charge. Like i said i am not an aggressive driver and try to utilize B mode for regen braking as much as i can; without slamming on brakes. Are you guys seeing any battery charge holding reduction after a year or so use? I just dont want to use the Eco mode but dont want to get stranded on the road after a year use of the car as it cannot hold enough charge as it used to when it is new. Any comments welcome. Thanks
