I'm so glad I found this Hawaii section!
I asked this same question on the main board but got mixed answers.
I live up Waialae nui ridge. 1000 ft elevation, past the rec center if anyone knows where that is.
I drive to Wahiawa everyday. My drive starts down the 1000 ft hill about 1.5 miles right on to h1 by star of the sea. H1 all the way stay on moanalua freeway past tripler hospital merge to traffic coming from airport viaduct and then past sears distribution etc up the big hill to 1000 ft in Wahiawa. During lunch I some times go to Walmart or the gym at 24hrs In mililani. Charging at work is not a likely option.
I leave the house at 630ish and leave Wahiawa a approximately 4 ish. Traffic is somewhat against the flow but anyone that travels the route I go knows its pretty slow going.
In the morning from kalaniolele hwy to vineyard is basically stop and go then from vineyard on its about 50mph to Waianae split when I start heading up hill to Wahiawa I'm usually going about 60.
Coming home from Wahiawa is all down hill to the merge and freeway speeds till the middle street merge I usually take airport viaduct way, the traffic is stop and go till Punahou and then freeway speeds to end of freeway, the the climb up Waialae nui ridge 1000 ft up
Round trip is 59 miles without side trips lunch time run to mililani adds about 9 miles.
So am I stretching the leafs capabilities? I don't want to sweat it everyday or be unable to do lunch errands etc. I also don't want to leave my ac off drive super slow side streets etc.
Now of course on some days like no school days sat etc I may be going 60 plus the entire way non stop
I want to know if the leaf would be good in all these scenarios, I don't speed and drive pretty normally not aggressive. Should I be looking at the volt? As a side note we have a full PV system.
