Yup, I saw some close to those numbers on some Leafs in the PNW. But never Ahr > 67, nor 100% SOH.
Yes. I'm doing it right now. So far not looking too good.alozzy said:If that's the same Leaf it lost 3% battery and 4 AHr since the last reading, not normal. The more you drive it, the more it will keep dropping. Are you doing a full range test?
It's 84 miles at 100% charge on a '13:alozzy said:Pretty sure the EPA range was 75 miles, but based on 90% discharge. So, you're right - 83 miles.

It can't have been fast, because the EPA range rating when new was 83 miles, IIRC.

Thank you for suggesting the long test drive.alozzy said:Man, we were way off :lol:
I forgot to mention that the average temperature was about 50°, so that would affect it by about 7%?LeftieBiker said:That sounds like an average speed of about 30-35MPH. Tony' range chart should show the range of a new Leaf at that speed. I would guess that the car has roughly 80% of original capacity remaining.
You cannot take the arithmetic mean of speeds and apply Tony's chart with much accuracy because aero losses are proportional to the square of speed.LeftieBiker said:That sounds like an average speed of about 30-35MPH.
