I'm new to LEAF. I just started to use LEAF last week for 2-year lease. My usage styles are:
- Typical commute is just 15 miles/day.
- On the weekend, it could be 40-50 miles. I'm trying to use as much as I can
- Using only 120V charging. (Rented house )
- Living in Northern CA. (No snow)
My dealership simply tells me that charging 100% is good for me, because I'm leasing it. But, I'm wondering in terms of "charging electric cost".
It seems that charging from 80% to 100% takes more time than charging to 80%. Is this correct?
If so, it implies more energy is required to fully charge, which in turn means more electric cost. I'm wondering my understanding is correct or not.
If there is no difference between charging 80% and 100%, I'd love to charge 100% so that I can always LEAF whenever possible.
