2013 Leaf rather consistent. AHr dropped a few times but has for the most part stuck at 67.36 SOH=100% Hx=106.68% Odo=21,283 2QCs & 1423 L1/L2s. 284 Gids at 100%.
Most of the time I get these values but it is hard to tell if I have any noticable range loss quite honestly. I thought I did this winter then took that Christmas Marathon with the Leaf and went 84 miles on one charge in 30 degree weather. I am Highly satisfied. Highway speeds and many hills still get me at minimum 50 miles on a full charge in the worst conditions. Now that it has started to warm up I'm back to 60 miles on a full charge and that's with 20% remaining on battery (I tend not to push it much past 20% due to lack of charging stations). The one thing I will say is that I'm finding that Dealerships around here have been becoming less open to letting me charge. I really hope that the charging stations start popping up around here. My belief is free charging is hurting the rollout. I've read several different posts on here from some shady characters. One guy actually had the audacity to consider charging his car at a charging station a few blocks from his house. Others leaving their car plugged in locked even when not charging, and of course some being ICED (this is what happens to the Hyvee here just outside Omaha that has the ONLY public charging station in the Metro). I believe all of these problems would be overcome by a simple fee based system. BTW WHY DOES ANYONE EXPECT TO PAY RETAIL PRICE FOR A CHARGE AT A PUBLIC STATION!? We all had to spend money on a evse at home so why should we expect to be charged just the cost of electricity? I think $5 dollars for a full charge (similiar hourly rate fair too) is fair with a fee for time left plugged when once charging is completed. This might be steep for some but I believe it would help in the long run.
Quick Charging stations are something I could only dream of seeing one day here in Omaha and I fully hope that they are fee based to compensate the provider. $10 dollars minimum (maybe $15?)
