I'm not in a position to personally validate extreme cold weather range performance, so I'm offering a free t-shirt to qualified data runs.
What I want is a car that is charged and driven at substantially the same temp. Generally speaking, the car would be outside or in a detached, unheated enclosure. I prefer outside. Also, I'd like a 4 hour period after a 100% charge and before the driving test.
I'd like data at any temperature below 14F/-10C.
Then, I'd like an hour of your busy day to drive your cold soaked, cell balanced LEAF over substantially level terrain (or at a minimum, arriving and departing at the same elevation). Start with a reset on the trip odometer and the dash miles/kWh.
Please drive all the way to Very Low Battery. Super mega extra credit for a run to turtle. Astronomical stupendous extra credit if you have a Gidmeter. <<--- we might be able to get a loaner to a dedicated data collector.
At the conclusion of your data run, I'd like:
Gid count, if available, at start-
Assumed battery temperature -
Dash miles/kWh ---------------
Miles traveled total ------------
Miles driven at Low Battery ------
How many fuel bars showing-----
Gid count, if available------------
Miles driven at Very Low Battery -
How many fuel bars showing-----
Gid count, if available-------------
Miles driven at Turtle, if applicable-
Gid count, if available--------------
Heater nominal power use kW----

No GuessOmeter data is requested, nor desired. No CarWings data.
An ideal run will be mostly level, with a mostly stable low temperature, with no extreme power used, particularly at lower battery levels (below the first Low Battery Warning). It will have charged to 100% the night before at roughly the same temp that the data run was made, and have 4 hour minimum between the charge and the beginning of the data run.
If you have your "end of charge" text message at the end of the charge, and then get another one 1.5 hours later, after the cell balancing top off is complete, there's no need to wait the full 4 hours.
Happy data collecting!
