dmacarthur said:2019 Leas Plus S: exactly one year tomorrow, 13,006 miles total ((one and one/twelfth thousand miles each month average), no issues whatsoever and with 2 exceptions no range anxiety. (both times we got anxious temperature was in the single digits, snowing, studded snow tires and the car simply does not go any where near as far on a charge. Get used to it. Otherwise, we drive around all the time and charge only as needed...). Maybe 20 QCs total, maybe 20 Level 2 charges, otherwise all Level 1 at the garage using a manual timer to keep the charge under 80 percent or so. Seems to avargae around 4.3 M/KWh summer 3.7 winter, dirt roads and funky driveways are a lot of the miles. After the warranty is out we will look at the lift option.....
dmacarthur said:Thanks Dave, in real life the battery seldom gets to 80% because even 50% gets us around for days..... 80 is a sort of max unless travelling. It will remain to be seen how these batteries hold up, not yet enough hard info that I can see.....
DougWantsALeaf said:I have been charging the cars to mid 70s once it hits mid 30s SOC. I know that is a bit higher than perfect, but there is something comforting about having around 200 miles (bit less in SV and a bit more in the S) on tap.
DougWantsALeaf said:In pre-covid days, on our gen 1 leaf, we did a very consistent 500 a month. With the Leaf Plus (SV), we were doing more monthly as I was taking some mid distance road trips (500-800 miles over a day or two) with the kids and pretty much stopped driving the van (as the 200 mile Milwaukee round trip now could be done fully ev).
Now in covid (and with the S+) we are driving generally less, but I have done a handful of 200-250 mile trips, generally on a single full charge. Even with those trips, in 3 1/2 months we have only 2300 miles on the S and averaging only about 400-450 miles a month on the SV. No commuting since late Feb.

That is a full second faster than I thought. Pretty quick.
