I'm in Eco 99% of the time and I only used cruise so I could make sure my speeds were exactly the same going both ways, but, yah, I was hoping for much better numbers. Maybe I'll make a video of my driving style, speed and efficiency.. for science.

I am able to squeak into the 8s driving at a pace around town I would almost consider too cautious/mobile speed bump-ish. I did a 30km highway jaunt this morning on as flat of a section of highway as I could, cruise set at 104-105km/hr (speed limit is 110), no climate control and both screens...

The tires actually ride very well at ~40psi. They're quiet, but the ride is a bit stiff and pretty much silent on the highway. Went around town slowly today (no faster than 60) and wasn't able to crack 6. Sigh. Honestly I'm a really easy-going driver. I'll swap out the tires for something else...

I've never run all-weather or all-seasons in the winter. I've always gone steel wheels with dedicated winters. Winter Slalom KSIs were the best I've ever had (never liked the X-ice on our Subaru), but I don't like cheaping out on winters either way.

Thanks again everyone. I can get 8-9, but I'd be travelling well under the speed limits in my area (40-50/hr). :) I guess I'm fixated on the leaf range chart and those wonderful numbers that I cannot seem to get even though I know I'm a very conservative driver. Yes, the tires seem fairly new...

Just came back from a quick 7km drive, 60-65kms/hr (mostly 60 zone), flat-flat, climate control off and I reset both meters and got 7.2km/kwh.

Oh I'll check the cover! I'm leaning towards the junky tires that came with the Leaf as they are "Dayton HT 801" Z-rated with a 240 wear rating (Canadian Tire cheap ones from what I can tell), so they're grippy. The only time I was able to get anything above 7 was by crawling at 40-50km/hr...

Thanks again for all the replies. You veterans of the board have so much patience! I was an idiot and reset the history as soon as I got the car. TheLeaf buying guide was a godsend and went through it knowing the issues with the 30kwh battery. It was purchased from a dealer getting into EVs...

Hi! Thanks for the reply! The tires are all at ~41psi and practically new and evenly worn. The HVAC is showing zero consumption (as I'm not using it much. It's kinda cool here these days!). I was thinking of driving it down below 20% and use leafspy again to see if there are any bad cells. I'm...

Hi everyone. Long time lurker, first time EV driver from the East Coast of Canada. I've been debating getting a used Leaf for about 2 years and finally picked up a 2016 SL, 11/12 bars (78%), 110k kms, the other day and LOVE it. With Nova Scotia finally getting on the EV bandwagon there's a nice...
