Hi All,
I am one month new to the Leaf and absolutely love it! I feel like I'm not paying "The Man" anymore in regards to gas prices and it literally couldn't be better!
I do have a question. I drive 50 miles round trip to work daily. When I leave my house I typically have 80 miles range on my Leaf. My commute is 50% side streets and 50% highway. I have cut it close a couple of times. I do get concerned sometimes especially since the weather is nice and I live in the Chicago area and I heard that in dead summer and winter you lose 10% capacity. Am I doing something wrong with charging? Does anyone have any advice that will help expand my range? I drive in regenerative braking mode, and I drive in ECO mode the entire trip. I usually have 2 trees of efficiency during my commute each way. I know for sure I am definitely not reaching the 80 miles range it is saying that I have everyday.
Steve
