No. The reason for the big drop is the highspeed drive gaining elevation. 12V battery stores very little energy and won't make a difference.saywatt said:5PM: Crossing I-90 floating bridge: Very Heavy rain, wind, lots of hail, 37 degrees. Windshield wipers on high, defrost on 80% of the time. Speed limits was 50mph plus on average. From the west to east high-rise, mile indicator dropped from 52 miles to 24 miles. ""I think this is important because I :?: if this is when the Li Ion battery moved some juice over to the 12v battery due to all the accessories that were on constantly during the return trip.""
Leaf calculates range based on the past few miles - giving more weightage to recent miles. That is why this forum is full of posts telling you not to pay attention to that "guess-o-meter" - GOM.
