Hello,
I have had my Leaf S Plus for about a year. I have done one 300 mile drive, having to stop twice and driving down to about 10% charge. I am considering taking it on a long drive that may include stop and go and slow and go highway traffic. Assuming I do not need heat or a/c, does this kind of driving seriously affect range? My gut/limited science tells me that with eco mode on so I don't over accelerate, this should not cause much extra use of the battery. In some ways, it may be more like city driving and therefore result in more miles than faster speed. Please provide any knowledge and experience. Thank you.
As an interesting side note, my LEAF is listed to go 226 miles on a full charge. Today, with 64 degree weather through town, I drove 5 miles on 1% of battery usage! Wow!
