I can't give you a good reason, either, though I can think of some wild possibilities:TomT said:There is no good reason. Five mile and stop and go provisions don't apply to the Leaf. I can't see where the severe schedule would apply to anyone with a Leaf unless all their driving is on unpaved roads in the desert...Nubo said:I'm not sure why "repeated short trips" would be a maintenance issue for LEAF, unless one was topping off the battery at the end of them?planet4ever said:I should point out that with your very low mileage you could well meet the "Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles" criterion, which Nissan says means you should follow Schedule 1.
- Extra wear on the electronics, booting and shutting down more frequently
- Predictive tuning in the inverter that might take a couple of minutes to synchronize after bootup
- More wear on the cooling system from starting and stopping so often
- Less cooling of the inverter and motor while the cooling system is flushing coolant that heated up after the car was shut down
