Cold weather is nothing new. Today was well below 20F according to internet, dashboard in Leaf read 10-13F. We had flurries with 10mph wind' a typical Michigan winter
The roads were 'dry' today with overdrafts and black ice.
36 miles round trip
I started at SOC 100%
Drove in 'B' mode
No faster than 60mph, 85% or more was below 55mph.
Heat was on 76F, heating steering wheel on, 90% or more of the time.
LBW @ 16% around mile 35
I reset the miles per kwh a day or two ago, I am averaging 2.7.
This represents a 'longer day' for me in terms of miles driven. I was also intentionally running the heat hotter than I normally do; I wanted to push it. I figure this 36 mile round trip is as far as I would let my wife go in the Leaf alone under the same conditions.
I plan on making a longer range trip later this winter under similar conditions with more conservative use of the heat to see how much distance. I want to see if my son and I can make it to 'grandmas house' ~70 miles away. I am betting we would be best served stopping for lunch in an area with a L2 that I scouted this summer..
