My LEAF arrived to me yesterday via car carrier truck (from Fontana Nissan). First LEAF in Wisconsin!
The truck driver took it off the truck, and gave me the keys, and looked concerned. He told me the battery was almost empty, despite it being full when he had picked it up. Sure enough, the GoM said 9 miles remaining. Odd, I thought, but surely a simple explanation for it, right? Sure enough, a short while later, I was checking out all the dash info and noticed that the trip time computer was showing 99 hours. So I'm quite sure that my LEAF was left powered up on the truck, and it drained its battery. Probably not the entire way, since it was taken on and off at least once, but obviously the majority of it. In any case, I plugged it in right away at home, albeit disappointed that I couldn't go out for much of a ride right away.
So there it is, folks: my LEAF made its inaugural trip of over 2000 miles on just under a full charge! Think that puts it at roughly 91 miles/KWh
And it's a damn good thing it didn't drain it completely. I'm not sure how we would have gotten it off the truck at that point... :shock:
Now let's never do that again.
