I just went on a trip to my sister's 80 miles south of Seattle, in the rain.... I started at 100 percent, and barely made it 62 miles to tumwater! (I had 15 miles left.... ) I was driving 60 and not using the defrost as much as I could get away with and had the windows up... Is it just me, or do Leafs take a HUGE amount of power to go anywhere when the pavement is wet?
Oh wait . . . I read this wrong. You only got 62 miles out of a 100% charge in the rain, and had a 15 mile journey left to your sister's, not 15 left on the GOM. Luckily, there's a QC in Tumwater, so you were able to make it, but you were surprised that your power drained so much faster in the rain.
So, how much was left when you stopped to QC?
62 miles in bad weather seems reasonable to me. I would never plan to go more than 60 even in good weather without a charge stop, and we don't have QC.
Did you expect to go the whole 80 miles on one charge?
