I charge my 2013 Leaf SV to 80% Sunday - Thursday and 100% Friday - Saturday. Last week I noticed my "full charge" range, which normally would be about 95 miles without A/C, only reported 87 miles. I know the last 5 miles determines the "range", which really isn't a real range so we can move past the "range isn't really real" part of the conversation . Since I got the car 3 months ago, the a full charge has been consistently 92-105 miles and 80% charge was 75-85 miles. Thinking it weird in the drop, I checked the charge percentage and it was at 99%. The same thing happened the next day. The car reports charging complete so it isn't still charging. I checked my text notifications and the car had finished 5 hours before I even got in it. Then on Monday when I went to work (an 80% day) and it reported charging to 79%. The same thing happened today. This only started about a week ago. The car only has 3700 miles on it (new in March). At first I thought that it was already starting show battery age, but why would it only charge to 79% on a 80%? I mean the 99% I can understand on an older battery. It seems it will now only charge to 1% of the full charge for both 80% and 100%. I still have full bars on battery life and I wasn't expecting to see a dip in battery performance for at least a year.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what is going on? I am overriding the timer tonight and want to see if it will go to 100% or not.
