Fellow Leaf Owners,
We have a 2014 Leaf and there has been a steady decline in the number of miles we get per charge. The first year, I would say we averaged around 95, and if the weather was accommodating, the charge would be closer to 103-5. The second year, it hovered between 85-90. Now, a full charge averages 72-5 miles, with the occasional 80.
Having said all that, I haven't lost any bars. How do I evaluate this loss and should I be concerned/try to get the battery replaced while it's still under warranty? Or has it not degraded enough to count? When I called the Leaf specialist in our area last year, he chalked it up to the weather, but we moved from Boston (where we spent our first year) to Texas and it doesn't seem like the decline has correlated with either extreme heat or cold but rather been steady throughout the year.
Any thoughts on how to understand this?
