Service advisor mentioned he had seen one LEAF with only 11 boxes after 12k miles; no other details on that tho.
85% pack capacity after 12k miles is scary... What is the most miles driven by a LEAF with still 12 capacity bars? I have 9500 miles after 6 months, and I hope in my first annual battery check with 19k miles that I still have the full 12 capacity bars.
I'm approaching 17,000 miles, and not experiencing any degrading (not to be confused with cell imbalance loss of range in the bottom 15% of capacity).
I probably use the full capacity of the battery on a daily basis more than 99.9% of the LEAF population. I now charge to 100% only with time left at the end of the charge to balance the battery (1-4 hours typical).
Same here... 14,500 miles with no perceived degradation. I charge to 100% all the time...
I expect when it does start to degrade, that it will be noticeable and steady all the way to 20-30% reduction in capacity at 100,000 miles (160,000km). I'm fortunate that my battery will never be exposed to significant temperature extremes, particularly the +100F / +40C temps.
