I was #98 of the 1st bar losers, @ 13,146 miles & 16 months
Looks like I'm losing capacity a little quicker than battery aging model suggests.
I'm in the sub 80% club during the summer (try...
Six temp bars when I got in my LEAF yesterday morning at 6:30am here in Tucson. My outside temperature gauge showed 68. The high the day before was 93, and I had six temp bars on my drive home even though it was parked in the shade all day.
Five bars this morning, with a low of 57 last night...

I love the...
Super stoked on the new quick charger. May actually allow us to drive to Phoenix and back, if your battery hasn't lost all of it's capacity from the heat.
After reading those comments, it amazes me how some of those people could actually use a computer. It also reinforces just how ignorant most people are in regards to electric cars.
