Gascant wroteay 2 of commuting--when I checked the owners portal this morning it said I had 100% charge but only 61 miles of range. I fretted all through breakfast and my shower, only to find that I actually had 97 miles range when I started (or booted up) the LEAF.
Did you just get off the freeway when you parked the LEAF the night before? My experience has been that the computer will use what it last saw. If you came home just off the freeway, it could read very low because it doesn't know that you were also going to use surface streets. Once you start out it recomputes based on the immediate driving style. I too have noticed that as soon as I put the car in Park that the range decreases by a few miles. I'm not sure why that happens, maybe it thinks you're going to idle for awhile and the engine fans/pumps still keep running until you turn the car off so it decreases the range.
