Hi, I'm very new with the behaviors of electric cars. We've only had this used 2013 S for a little over 200 miles.
Today I let the car charge up to 80% on its own. Shortly after reaching 80%, I decided I wanted to push it up closer to 100%. With the car still plugged in, I got in, turned it on, and changed it so that it would charge to 100%.
15 minutes or so later, I stepped within Bluetooth range of the car and turned on my phone with Leaf Spy to see how it was doing. I saw that the state of charge was dropping, as were the GIDs and mileage estimate. When I got into the car and turned it on, the instruments in the car agreed that everything had been discharging for the previous 15 or 20 minutes.
I don't remember everything I did, but I at least turned off the car, unplugged the EVSC, and plugged it back in at some point. It seemed to begin to charge *up* again.
Afterward, I checked the smart meter on our house and the kill-a-watt the level one EVSC was plugged into just to verify power was flowing in the right direction. I wish I had done that while it was apparently flowing the wrong direction, but everything seems fine now.
I don't think I yet understand the graph for a Leaf Spy, but I assume it is showing real power and apparent power. I'll post some screenshots below and you can note the time stamps from my phone.

I would definitely love to get people's thoughts on this.
