You dont need a LEAFSCAN to check the count of wattHours with a Gidmeter. There are dozens and dozens of these out there, and I'm sure you can find somebody who will loan you one in a major California city (I have no idea where you are).
While you can get an approximation with a full charge, Since Gids at full charge are variable, you can't get a very accurate number, in addition, factors such as a hot/cold pack or a imbalance can cause an artificially low gid reading temporarily. You also have to perform a full charge in order to check.
LEAFSCAN can read the battery ECU's internal capacity loss numbers, including internal resistance, and can also tell if it's only one or 2 modules, or just a general loss across the whole pack. The capacity loss coefficient that can only be read by
LEAFSCAN is what the capacity bars are based on. This can be done at any SoC and any temperature. No need to charge to check, it takes only seconds.
