I got my LEAF in November 2012 and knew that the range was supposed to be better in the warm weather than cold, but didn't realize how much!
The night I purchased, I drove home in 30deg weather and proceeded to learn how to drive an EV in a very cold winter (for southern middle TN) and let me just say that when it was really cold I averaged low 3's miles/kWh & warmer winter weather low 4's & now that we are having highs in the upper 70s I'm FLYING around town and getting 5.2 miles/kWh!
I think everyone should purchase in the winter, so they can get all their range anxiety out at once & not have it at the initial purchase and then again at the first winter.
Once I get my Gid meter back (cable issue) I think I can join the 100 mile club easily!
(I Love my LEAF)
