Hello! Nice to meet fellow Leaf users.
A little background on why I've decided on a Leaf than a ICE/hybrid.
My professor and classmates a few years back had EVs b/c its cheaper due to the cost of electricity in comparison to petrol products.
ICEs are not common in Norway due to their infrastructure and I'm sort of hoping in studying near Switzerland basing off smart grid/renewables/power production in the future to add onto my associate's/cert. Inspiring how infrastructures are made to be for Norway allowing costs of EVs to be less than ICEs there.
I was wondering of a few things as soon as I've been using my Leaf for traveling to work that is enough for 5days of travel(62 kWh/215 miles)
I noticed that the % of charge (71% = 189 miles/215 miles) which I find odd.
Is the driving range meter just off or... is my car able to travel more than it actually says online/dealership???
Additionally, summer is coming which means the temperatures range from the mid 70s to the high 90s. Are there any tips in preserving the car's battery degradation at work? (located near shaded trees, but the car can still get hot at 77 F for 9hr, losing -5 mileage).
Lastly, potentially adding a new thread/post of accessories that'd be nice on the Leaf would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of getting more cargo trays/nets.
