SanDust said:Many thanks for taking the time to do this. Very interesting results. I had actually expected it to do better than the 2011 and 2012 models.
Reddy said:Tony, sorry to be so dense, but could you clarify? As I read your 1st post, you drove ~77 mi to VLBW at close to 65 mph. Assuming a perfect speed, you drove 1 hr and 11 min. How close were you to averaging 65 mph?
Also, at that point, you seem to say that you stopped the test, and then "extrapolated" the remaining distance to turtle using previous experience from the 2011/2012 Leaf. Is that correct?
evnow said:it would be interesting to do the test in colder weather with the heater on. I think that is mainly where we will see some improvements in the range.
Obviously you wanted the car to fail! :lol:TonyWilliams said:http://insideevs.com/real-world-test-2013-nissan-leaf-range-vs-2012-nissan-leaf-range/#comment-52400
Fixed that for ya!SanDust said:I was hoping the 2013 MY would have more range. It might of course, but obviously not the 11 miles the EPA test is suggesting.

I believe, not 50 to 100. Probably a typo in the first post?

...Battery temperature segments displayed 6, indicating temperatures between approximately 50F (10C) to 100F (38C)...

Actually, Tony claimed:
...Battery temperature segments displayed 6, indicating temperatures between approximately 50F (10C) to 100F (38C)...
But glad to see someone finally asked about the most important data Tony chose to umm, gloss over...
Bob, can you estimate what your battery temperature was during the final charge? You didn't happen to park Your LEAF in a garage heated to say ~80 F, for many hours prior to the test, did you?
You could have had a battery temperature in San Diego in February close to the same as that in Phoenix in September, As Tony implies, but it would certainly have required some sort of "active battery temperature management" to get it there.

Hi: Temperature in my garage while charging the morning of, and day before, was generally low 50's to mid 60's. Thx, Bob
Ok, at least one mistake in my data was pointed out; the battery temperature was between 50.5F and 74.3F with 5 temperature bars showing, not 50F – 100F.
There is no more nor any less range with a 2013 LEAF under these conditions that a 2011 or 2012
