I have a 2019 Leaf (UK) which has always predicted the 'miles left to empty' fairly accurately.
Recently, this has changed. An example from today; I fully charged my Leaf from the 2.3Kw lead to 100%. The display shows 160 miles remaining which is what it shows on a good day. I drove a total of 74 miles and at the end the car showed 65 miles remaining which meant I had 'used' 95 miles. For this journey, outside temperature was 12⁰C, there were absolutely no accessories running (no heat, no air con, no screen demister - nothing), typical speed 45mph max speed 50mph so to my mind, that should get about the best range possible.
Other journeys perform similar. On average, 100 miles shown as remaining will last 75 miles meaning that a full charge showing 160 miles will only give 120 despite driving carefully and with nothing else drawing power.
If this is a bad battery why does it not just show 120 miles left when fully charged?
At my last service, they reported the battery condition as 'excellent'. The condition of the battery according to the dash display is 100%.
Any suggestion about what I should do, or what might be causing this?
Thanks
