There's little point in discussing the GOM: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=271853#p271853.jbuntz said:Yesterday I drove to the dealer to drop off the Leaf and I covered 64.5 miles at 51 mph avg. the GOM showed 33 miles remaining. For those with a 100% 30kWh battery what would you expect to have remains. Also how many miles does it show on a full charge?!
What was the net elevation gain/loss between the two points? You can use Google Earth for that (https://priuschat.com/threads/google-earth-can-give-you-an-elevation-profile-of-a-route-between-2-points.100653/).
The amount it will have at full charge will depend on how efficiently it was driven for some unknown period of time before the car's charged. If you want high GOM values, drive down a long steep grade or tow charge the car then charge at the bottom of the hill. Want a low GOM value? Drive really fast and very aggressively w/the accelerator up a steep hill in the rain w/underinflated tires while having the heater blasting on full. Charge at the top of a hill.
