I have to put myself on record as saying I am not on board with daily readings having any major significance and yeah, this is coming from someone who has recorded stats EVERY day my LEAFs have been driven for a few days short of 7 years.
No its not. You are completely forgetting the 3 month adjustments. My last one was 1.47% just by itself.
I have now had the car for a year. It has lost 7.48% since I bought it.
I don't yet buy into the idea the new batteries are better in heat. This summer should tell me a lot.
I certainly have seen no sign of my SOH adjusting up as others have seen. TBD.
I guess you just need more time. My pack was in lockstep with yours. Nearly identical along with several others. After a year, I had lost 6.73% (must be that cooler climate, right?)
9+ (yeah, 3 adjustments later) months later, I had lost another .61%
Reread this forum. Compare losses in the first year against losses since then. We have people approaching 2½ years here.
It is not lockstep. How many miles did you have at 1 year of ownership? I just passed 5500 miles. Others with the same degradation might have two or three times the mileage. You can't separate out what is caused by mileage versus heat (or anything else) without a lot more data. A lot more than we have.
And if heat had no player in battery degradation on the newer packs, why does the pack adjustments slow during winter?
No offense but you come off as a bit overly optimistic, seeing what you want from limited data. We can all hope you are right, but I would not assume. If I go through a hot summer here and only loose 1-2% additional, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
