I doubt very much that power is wasted running the electric motor against the friction brakes to provide the "creep".
The system is a control loop and the "creep" is electronically added at low/no speed depending on the position of the brake peddle. At some point the mechanical friction brakes...
Please post the spreadsheet to Google documents if you don't mind. I've been thinking of putting one together also but it sounds like you have a good start on one.
Does anyone know where to find the range map that was shown at the Drive events?
They said during the presentation that it was available on the the www.DriveNissanLeaf.com website but I cannot find it anywhere.
Thanks

It seems to me it will be very hard to plan a trip that is outside of round...
I would also like to thank Leon for all of the information he has provided me. He has been the most accurate source of information on the Leaf and the ordering process that I have talked with.
I'm still waiting on placing my RAQ but hopefully someday I will get to place my order and Leon @...

Was told most likely the car would arrive Jan/Feb next year.
Not sure how I'm going to survive the month of September. I really wish we new when in the month the order window will be made available. Is it going to be a single day for all of the September orders or will it be spread out through the whole month?
