Hi everyone. I just got my Leaf a few days ago and already I have a mystery. I've been able to get 4 - 4.5 miles/kWh on my trips. Today was the first day I had the Leaf charged to 80% (vs. 100%) and indeed Carwings showed 10 out of 12 bars in the morning. My wife took the Leaf to the gym and when she got back, CarWings reported only 7 our of 12 bars! She used 3 bars to make a 11 mile round trip. She told me that she did not put the car in ECO mode and had the A/C on. However, it was a relatively cool day in San Diego so I cannot imagine there would be such a drastic difference.
Assuming 2kWh / bar x 3 bars = 6 kWh for 11 miles that would mean 1.83 miles/kWh! Is that even possible? I asked her if there was a possibility that she left the Leaf on for an hour while she worked out and she said no. She's driven a Prius for years so I really doubt she forgot to turn the car off.
I'm waiting to see what CarWings reports as energy used and distance travelled. There seems to be a one day delay on the web site for the reports.
