How about we have some public shaming of dealers and or reps (e.g. at auto shows) that are telling potential buyers the range of the Leaf is "100 miles"?
I'd be fine if they say 100 miles is based on the LA4 cycle and that the cycle averages 19.59 mph, but to say it w/o qualification to ICEV owners/non-EV enthusiasts gets a big thumbs down from me.
I'm disappointed to hear from http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=301411#p301411" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, that it seems this is still going on.
Nobody at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=11201" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; thought 100 miles is the right value to tell people for the '11 and '12. And, Tony's range tests on the '13 seem to show it has no more range than the '11 and '12.
Until the Leaf can do 100 miles on a charge at 70 mph w/both moderate AC and moderate heater usage, I think it's a very bad idea to tell ICEV owners its range is 100 miles.
