I live in Smyrna and have a 2012 that I picked up from Town Center Nissan in Kennesaw 4 weeks ago. Silver SL. I'm really enjoying this car! My drive to work is only 5 miles, so my only complaint is that I don't get to drive it enough! This week I drove to Decatur and back in a heavy downpour. Went directly from work. I started with only an 80% charge. Running the wipers and heater left me with about 15 miles left when I arrived home. A good bit of it was on the interstate. The only commercial charger I've used was at Walgreens off the Marietta Square. I used it a few times while my charger was being upgraded by EVupgrade in CA.
Welcome to the Club. I'm just a couple weeks "younger" than you as a Leaf lessor. How was your experience with Town Center? That was one of the dealerships I contacted, but I didn't find them to be very helpful. I was quoted what was on their Web site with no other negotiations offered, and I just didn't have time to go in. Hopefully you had a better experience.
Interesting that with 80% charge (and I assume 70 - 80 miles) that you burned off so many miles in a 10 mile round trip commute, but I have heard the heater really does suck the juice out. In that same rain this week, I used the front window defogger and the rear window defogger as well, but I didn't see an appreciable loss in range. But then again, I work from home and generally don't have too far to drive on any given day.
Enjoy the car! I have the same color and model :mrgreen:
