Hola me llamo Roberto San José Mendiluce ( Brubaker Nissan ) ( @TaxiNissanLeaf ).
Soy el primer Taxi 100 % Eléctrico en España desde Octubre de 2011.
He recorrido +300.000 kilómetros ( 186.421 millas ) con mi LEAF de 24 kWh.
La batería ha perdido 5 barras de autonomía.
La batería NUNCA se ha cambiado, ni reparado. Es la "original de fábrica".
SOH de 54 % de capacidad. REMAIN 12,4 kWh.

Las pastillas de freno tampoco se han cambiado NUNCA, son las originales de fábrica.
Los neumáticos traseros me han durado 120.000 kilómetros ( 74.565 millas ).

Hello my name is Roberto San José Mendiluce (Brubaker Nissan) (@TaxiNissanLeaf).
I am the first 100% Electric Taxi in Spain since October 2011.
I have covered +300,000 kilometers (186,421 miles) with my LEAF of 24 kWh.
The battery has lost 5 bars of autonomy.
The battery has NEVER been changed or repaired. It is the "original factory".
SOH of 54% capacity. REMAIN 12.4 kWh.

NEVER, the brake pads have not been changed, they are the original ones.
The rear tires have lasted me 120,000 kilometers (74,565 miles).

The first Leaf to drive a light-second?
 
300,016 km for 2076 charges = 144.5 km ( 90 miles) per charges. Very few partial charges to maintain this high average. Is it possible?
 
Hello. Just wanted to inquire if these battery stats look typical. The SOH value has me concerned that I am nearing a capacity bar loss soon.

2017 SL Leaf
Purchased new 8/17
Build date 4/17
1,300 miles
SOC reading @ full charge 100% dash reading = 97.7% from Leaf Spy Pro
GIDs @ 100% charge = 330
SOH = 90%
 
Unless you live in a Hot climate you likely won't lose a bar soon, but that is kind of low for a 2017... Please put your location in your signature line, accessible from the user control panel.
 
Probably another example of how the SOH readout isn't very accurate. Still more important IMO is what kind of real world range you are getting.

Not really! Tracking the battery Ahrs over time is the simplest and most reliable, i.e. unless you're prepared to frequently do controlled driving
tests and accurately measuring re-charging.
 
Thanks for your feedback. Not really a hot climate here in the North East. I'm averaging 4.9 miles/kWh. I was just concerned for the pack health since I read that you could expect to lose your first capacity bar at SOH 85%. Assuming my driving habits won't change drastically, I'm losing about 5 SOH % per month. So I could expect to see the first capacity bar disappear in November after only about 1800 miles. Only time will tell ;) .
 
Just noticed the 4th bar has gone. Not sure how to tell the precise date and time. I stopped using the LeapSpy Pro regularly a while back.

AHr 43.13
SOH 65%
ODO 60,264 Mi
HX 44.6%
Delivery date 8/26/2011

Short historical AHr:
Aug 2017 43.8
Jan 2017 46.0
Aug 2016 46.4

I'm out of capacity warranty by 14 months and about 300 miles but i called Nissan earlier today and left a message. Hopefully i can get some assistance. Any tips on how to deal with Nissan would be appreciated.
 
I think now is the right time to report my results.
Today I passed 100 000km mark (62k miles) with my 2014 EU Leaf.
104 QC sessions (doesn't actually matter, trust me) and...
93% SOH 93,7% Hx (Hx always leads, SOH follows).
Even though numbers almost went down to 91% in summer, they came back, as the
always do (same last summer), right before BMS halts the calculation (no refresh below 15*C).
So I'm stuck with that number likely for the whole winter. In summer, it constantly
jumps up and down. It usually drops if SOC is cycled between 20-80% and if it
drifts off, it returns REALLY FAST after one long QC session or one deep cycle (2,6-2,8V up to 4.14V).
3% difference (both SOH and Hx) within 100km noticed this summer.

Due to climate, 98% probability that battery is between -5C up to +35C (3-6 bars).
Always charged to 80%. Often discharged below VLBW. Rarely charged above 90%.
Immediately charging after commute ends.
Third of commutes use 15% of battery, another third 70%. (+10% for both in winter).
I do not want to hear recommendations. Results speak for themselves.

So I really lost around 2kWh of capacity. And regen availability is compromised
when battery is below +5C and SOC above 80% simultaneously (less than 25kW).
When pack was newer, regen limit usually kicked in below 0C and above 85%.
In summer (5-6 temp bars), regen is always all bubbles below 95% SOC.

Excellent #'s, what are the AH ?
Does your commute take you over the Malahat?

Ok, here is mine:

2013 LEAF SL? (We bought the car used and it has some features that are only in the SL and up models and missing some that are normally in the SL model)

Admittedly, the battery was replaced about a week ago under the capacity warranty.

Was your early or late 2013 production? Sorry if you posted the info before.

That's interesting. If you multiply the AHr by the voltage it comes out to 28kWh, which is no where near 90%. I wonder if the low SOH is due to the low Hx value? Or maybe I'm completely confused by what the AHr and V actually mean? :shock:
