I recently traded my 2012 LEAF for a 2013 to get the better heater and the 6.6 KW charger. I have a question about the charging sequence. When I charge to 80%, it doesn't take long to get there and if I watch the battery % of charge on the dash it charges at full power right up to 79 to 80% and then shuts down. When I charge to 100%, the charger runs at full power up to 98% and then goes to a very low power setting which may take an additional 40 to 60 minutes to reach 100%. I assume the battery is balancing at this point, however it seems like it taking a long time to do this. I never noticed this on my 2012 and the driving range on the 2013 seems to be in the ballpark. Has anyone else noticed this or is it something I should mention to the dealer?
