So now Nissan is blaming high speed driving for battery capacity loss...I do not use the freeway and drive slow (6.1M/KW) and still loss 2 capacity bars in one month Nissan ..
So lets see what Nissan new rules are for Phx and the Leaf..
1. Do not drive fast,No freeway driving..
2. Do not drive in the heat
3. Do not park in the heat
4. Do not charge in the heat and only 80%
5. Use of Leaf only in the winter time is highy recommended by Nissan
I don't own a Leaf, so I don't know... but please tell me.
Is this OFFICIAL statements from Nissan of North America? Or is this some sale/service rep at one of the dealerships in Arizona?
I know ONLY of the recommendations to only charge up to 80%.
But who is officially recommending those 5 points? Who from Nissan is recommending lower speeds or (as Spooka's video claims) less annual driving????
Got this
Now the results of a Nissan study of those vehicles are in. The cars are being driven too much. According to Green Car Reports, Nissan says:
Average annual mileage [of those cars] is about 16,000 per year, more than double the average Phoenix customer mileage of 7,500 miles per year.

And this
In an official letter to the Leaf community, a Nissan executive ties the complaints to high mileage. The miles from the seven cars tested averaged about 16,000 miles a year. Nissan's owner manual states the one-year checkup for the car is at 15,000 miles. The company now states 7,500 miles a year is the average commute for a Phoenix driver.

So Nissan says Phx drivers average 20 miles/day but here

Nissan states the national average is almost double that of Phx at 37 miles per day. I find that interesting to say the least.
