We have had our 2013 Leaf SL Premium Package for just over 3 months and 4,300 miles. We wish to protect the battery as much as we can and were looking for a thread that gave battery tips for newbees. Is there one that has been created by those of you with a lot more experience? I would like to know now, rather than later, if I am doing something that is destroying our battery.
So far, we keep it set to charge to 80% and have only gone to 100% a couple of times when we needed to drive greater distances. We charge every time we get home on the 240v EVSE that was installed with the CEC free program, sometimes multiple times in a day. We also use the Dealer's DCFC once every week or so, to 80%. We try to never let it discharge below 20 miles remaining, but a couple of times it has gotten down to 9 miles.
So far we have averaged just over 4 miles/kwh, but are curious how Stuart658 and others are able to get 30 to 60 miles/kwh.
Thanks for your kind assistance.
