It was time for the old Leaf to go back (lease ended) so it was replaced with a new 2017 Leaf S30. I didn't plug in the OBD II yet, so no stats from LeafSpy but here are some observations and a question. I drove about 60 miles on the freeway (about 70/75 mph) to get home with 22 miles left on GOM. (I know freeway driving would mess it up so wasn't too concerned about the lower number).
I set the charging time for the car to be ready at 5 AM and plug it in. When I woke up, I see two emails from my EVSE which confirmed that it started charging at 2:33 AM. But here's where it gets interesting. Second email at 3:06 AM says "Charging added 24.074 kWh in 33 min 2 sec". What?? Did they upgrade the OBC and forgt to tell us? Something doesn't sound right as it would take about 3 hours to charge this much on my previous Leaf. The car was fully charged and GOM showed 141 miles (124 with AC on).
Any thoughts on this? Does it need to go through a few charge cycle before it can spit out more accurate info?
..... and yes, I will get the LeafSpy stats soon.
