I have pretty much always kept my car in the ECO setting, and I was wondering the other day how often people drive without ECO mode on their Leaf (I would guess rarely given so many of us are likely trying to maximize range)?
I have to drive with Eco mode ON or my front tires would be bald. I'm an aggressive driver and without Eco Mode, all I do is spin tires everywhere I go because of the torque and my foot just can't feather the accelerator properly. But this might only be an issue with the 2019 and 2020 plus models as everything I've read here says that 2021 and after models had the Eco mode power turned down so low for the mapping as to be ridiculous. I think I need to borrow a friend's 2021 or later model to feel for myself because my wife's 2018 with Eco mode seems to feel like what people are describing with the accelerator mapping way too low to start. :?Driver8 said:I have pretty much always kept my car in the ECO setting, and I was wondering the other day how often people drive without ECO mode on their Leaf (I would guess rarely given so many of us are likely trying to maximize range)?

Unlike some folks I much prefer the throttle mapping in ECO; it's much easier to drive smoothly in traffic.
