Congrats on the new car, hope you enjoy it for a long time. Great login name BTW :mrgreen:

Thanks.


I ran a short errand during lunch and when i got home it was down to 63%.
I think it charges about 6% per hour.
I will unplug after 3.5 hours.
It should be between 80 and 90%

Mine charged at 5% per hour on L-1 when new, and about 5.75% an hour when down to 87% capacity. As capacity decreases, the charge time shortens.

I read people talking about setting charging to 80%.
That is for SV and SL trim level, correct?

Yes, but it ended after 2013, when the EPA used the setting to average the range and thus lower it overall. From 2014 on there is no 80% setting.

I see.
I unplugged at 83% today.
I will start charging 5 hours per day. That should allow me to start around 80% each morning.

It's a shame, because Chevrolet successfully used the idea of preserving regeneration (calling it "Hilltop Mode") to implement a lower charge limit option on the Bolt, but Nissan, with the worst batteries, still refuses to do something similar. Tesla has variable charge limits...
