So significantly better half is looking at a Leaf, and after reading reviews, specs, posts on this forum I still have some questions.
I drive a Prius Plug-in as a daily driver, and have installed a Cripple Creek LCS-25 EVSE.
After 3 years, wife has finally learned to say, " I know this may affect your EV efficiency, but can we turn on the heat?" So i think with that in mind she can handle the technology in a Leaf.
- her commute is 31.7 mi each way, and her work does have level 2 evse available, and is aware of the lunchtime shuffle of EVs at the charging station
- any issues other than recharging time in using the lcs-25?
- enclosed garage stays at 60 - 70 year round.
- i know use of heat/ac will adversely affect range, as will age and care of traction battery; any guesses as to percentage of range reduction that can be expected when using climate controls?
Thanks!
