Also, let me clarify. When I say I ‘lost my 11th bar’ I meant that I lost bar #11. I still have 10. I think that may have been misinterpreted

Well, we did have a 113 degree day during a really hot week last summer, and it's dropped under 25 (F) this winter a few times. As for charging, I tend to let it get down to about 20 miles or less before I plug it in, then charge it on an L2 charger in the driveway to 100% - I will occasionally...

My 2015 Leaf SL dropped bar 11 this week, at 55,800 miles. I feel fortunate to have made it this far, but it is disheartening to see the expected miles go down from the original 108+ I was seeing when I first bought the car. There is a company here in Portland that does battery replacements, I...

Just posting here to keep records, along with others with a similar year, etc. 2015 Leaf SL -- purchased in late Feb 2018, with 33k miles, 12 bars.. I just lost bar #1 at 36636 miles. Just today I've ordered an OBDII device so I can run LeafSpy and get better stats to post, etc. Should be...

30 watts, though? The others are 19 and some change...

Final stop — made it home from Castle Rock with 20 miles to spare. Did 60-65ish most of the way. Ran into the beginnings of rush hour in Portland the last 5 miles or so. Total trip time from Bothell to SE Portland was about 5.5hrs, and I spent probably a half hour longer than needed in...

Just got to Castle Rock — with 33 miles range left. I drove a little faster on this stretch, as to flow with traffic more - often 65-ish and sometimes 70. I might have been able to make it to Woodburn, which is 29 miles further south — but it is some hilly terrain, so I figured it would be...

Checking in from Tumwater Deli/Shell. I made it here with 20 miles range showing. 3 bars charge remaining, though I imagine it was right about to drop to 2.. The way out of Seattle was kind of slow moving, I piggybacked behind some semi trucks and kept it between 50-60mph most of the way...

About to embark on the journey home... ideally, repeat the stops on the way up: Here (Bothell) to Tumwater Deli & Shell - 62.5mi Tumwater Deli to Cascade Select in Castle Rock - 55 mi Cascade Select Market to home - 63 miles This ~should~ work out, based on the drive up and so on, plus it’s...

Update for today — when I powered up the car this morning, it reported a guess of 96 miles range, the highest it’s displayed so far. That was cool to see, even if I knew better. Went into town, had breakfast, drove my friend home, then made my way toward Auburn. That was 24 miles of winding...

Stopped in Tumwater, as my predicted range was floating neck and neck with my 67 mile destination. When I got to the charging station, it read 13 miles remaining, with my ultimate destination being 15 miles away. Close. There were some hill climbs that ate up some of my range. Lesson learned...

Got to Castle Rock with 14 miles to spare. Car is charging now while I have some lunch.. optimistic I can make the 67 mile stretch after this.

Greetings, everyone. I am attempting my first ‘real’ road trip in my new (to me) 2015 SL, starting this morning. I am partially documenting this here for my own record, and also to see if anyone has helpful tips and suggestions.. I have spent some time reading up in here for some basics...

Looks like San Francisco and some maintenance performed in Sunnyvale, 1 owner lease...

I took the car back today - luckily, CarMax was fairly easy on the return process, even though I was left sitting for 30 minutes after arriving on time for the appointment set. To answer a few questions about the car I returned -- there were 10 battery bars to the right. It came from an auto...

Lefite, Thanks for the reply -- I can answer with the following information at the moment: It showed 59 miles last night at an L3/Rapid charger at full charge. I'm in Portland, OR - not too hot, not too cold. I will have to check out the battery bars after work, when I'm heading straight...

Hi everyone, please forgive my blurting this out, I have three days including today to decide to keep this car or send it back to the dealership with my tail between my legs. I'm brand new to electrics and saw this 2012 Leaf SL with only 33,000 miles on it for $10k and jumped at it, thinking...
