Hello,
I purchased my leaf about three years ago and ever since I bought it my milage has been awful. When I purchased it I was told I would get around 106 city and 96 highway on eco and no climate control. When my car is "fully charged" the highest I have ever seen it get to is 63 miles. And by the time I even get out of the parking lot at work which is like 200 ft I have already lost a mile or two.
My commute to work is around 4.8 miles. On the way to work I lose anywhere from 1-5 miles but on the way home I lose 12-20 miles. I go the same route and drive the speed limit which is 40 and never have climate control on and it is always on eco.
If I go on the highway my milage just gets eaten. What should be around 3 miles taken off it actually eats about 13.
Is there something wrong with my battery? I was talking to someone and they had said something about car batteries in other cars non electric can lose whatever is in a battery so you just have to fill it back up. Is that actually true and could that be the same thing for me? I have taken it to a mission dealer and they didn't say anything about it.
Sorry I am still new to the electric car and I also know pretty much nothing about cars.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 2012 leaf and I am located in Kansas City MO.
My main thing is I don't even get the estimated milage that is displayed on my dash.
