Hi guys, I've been lurking on this forum for a while now. Hoping some of you might be able to provide some wisdom.
I'm interested in getting a 24kWh leaf for commuting, but I'm worried about winter range even if I find one with a healthy pack.
My commute is 60km(37mi) round trip, with a fairly even mix of 100kmh (62mph) highway, ~20kmh(~10mph) stop and go gridlock, and 60kmh(35mph) city driving. I live near Toronto, Canada, our winters usually dont ever drop much below -10°C or -15°C (15°F to 5°F) during my commuting times. Only once in the last 5 years have I had to commute through snow on any un-plowed roads, though sometimes there is a bit slush to push through.
Has anyone here with a 24kWh or 30kWh leaf done winter commuting at a similar range to this? Ideally I'd like another 5 or 10mi on top as a buffer or if i need to make a stop along my commute.
Additionally I'd be parking and charging this leaf exclusively outside. Would you expect this to cause battery degradation charging overnights?
