Hi all,
We recently traded in our 2012 for a 2015 (that fire sale was great), but I have noticed that something is odd with the estimated charging time in the 2015 LEAF. For example, I drove to LBW the other day (10 miles on the GoM, 1 bar remaining) and the estimated time to charge using 3.3 kW L2 was 8 hours, and 6.6 kW L2 was 5 hours. With my 2012, it rarely took more than 4 hours to completely charge by the time I traded it in, but then again it could barely get me to and form work any more.
Is this normal? Is there more usable kWh in the 2015 than previous years, or is it just going to take a few charge cycles for the battery controller to "learn" the correct battery capacity and have the estimated recharge times better reflect reality?
Does LEAFSpy accurately monitor the 2015? I recall there being some suspicion that it didn't work as accurately with the 2013 as it did with the 2011/2012.
Thanks!
