Hello,
I'm a new poster to the forum and have had my 2021 Leaf for 4 months. Before you roll your eyes at my problem, I'll say I'm calling in for service tomorrow. That said, for the second time this week, I've gone to bed with a well-charged battery and awakened to one with little charge. It's turned cold at night where I live. Last night the temp dipped to 28 F. I had charged at a J-1772 port late yesterday afternoon - to 81%. I went home and didn't use the car again. Woke up to see it at a 19% charge. The other time this happened, the car was at about a 68% charge and when I woke up it was at 10%. Then it took quite a while to get back to a comfortable charge zone.
I've read many posts on this forum about cold weather issues and I'm prepared for a tough winter. I recently moved to a house without a garage and plan to have one added next spring (into which I'll add a decent charger). Until then, I'm using local level 2 chargers and my own home trickle charge.
Has anyone had this disturbing charge-loss problem?
Thanks,
S. Sawotka
