I do not recommend it to you guys, but the method I am using could be worth to try at your own risk.
1) Warming up the battery by QC. 8 temp-bar works better than 6 temp-bar in my experience.
2) Driving your Leaf with pressing and releasing the pedal repeatedly in B range. Hx will probably go up rapidly.
3) Once SOC hits 50% or below, increase of Hx will likely stop, but decrease will likely not happen.
Some Japanese Leaf folks are keeping up Hx high using this method. Some 24kWh owners retain Hx = 100%+ at 30k+ miles.
How are real world miles looking in those 30k vehicles? I'm below 90% SOH, but I can get over 100 miles on a charge as long as I'm not doing fast highway speeds.
My point is that these numbers are far from perfect and things like this are proving that they can be gamed.
This is what I am questioning about too. Since I started using this method I had never charged to 100% with L1/L2. I need more experiments to make a conclusion about this.
As far as I know, there is a Japanese folk whose 65k miles odd 4-yr 24kWh LEAF could reach to 90 miles while SOC went from 100% to 19%. His feeling is that his SOH=90% LEAF does not seem giving him a fake value. I hope his feeling is true.
