I had "street" encounter today at the Santa Clara County Water District (http://www.plugshare.com/?location=7989" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
which has 7 J1772 EVSEs for free charging. I talked to the guy who pulled up in an '11 blue Leaf (owned, not leased, he also mentioned the $5K CVRP, so he got his pretty long ago) to charge. He asked me what my range was... and I was like...err... that's a tough question to answer since it depends on so many factors. He mentioned his range seemed lower and that he had 40K miles. We conversed about the GOM and I told him about how it's virtually useless, etc.
Anyway, he wasn't a user on MNL yet and had never seen Tony's range chart that I pulled out. He didn't seem to know about the "fuel bars" vs. the capacity bars. I asked him if he'd lost any capacity bars and he thought he hadn't. My response was that I didn't believe him, after 40K miles in the South Bay (not sure where he lives). I looked and
he was down 2 capacity bars (unless I counted wrong). I also pointed him to the pages in my manual re: capacity bars.
Anyway, I pointed him on my phone to a pic of the car w/3 capacity bars gone at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/wiki/index.php?title=Battery_Capacity_Loss" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (to which he reacted "ooohh!") and was able to find the Wiki entry on the table of capacity bars lost vs. % capacity lost that was taken from the service manual. He didn't know about this either. He did say he received a letter and from our conversation, it sounded like it was about the 5 year/60K mile capacity warranty. I briefly described to him the details about that...
From the table and his experiences now, he felt that being down ~20-ish% capacity is about right.
