I thought the test results below might be worth a new thread since, AFAIK, these results have not been posted on MNL before, and no reputable test prior to this has correlated range at 45, 60 and 70 mph (constant) with measured kwh use, both DC out of the battery and AC from the EVSE to recharge, as well as charge time for the L2 recharge.
So there are many reference points in these documents for comparison, for any who have used various methods to try to gauge capacity.

It is unfortunate that the test vehicle was not “new”, but the another PDF of the static capacity test here:

Indicates the miles were 6,696 miles on 2011 LEAF ...00356 on that test date, May 5 2012.

Both the range and capacity reports on this car may, I suspect, lead some to conclude this LEAF must have been severely “degraded” at the time the tests were done...
Nothing very surprising to me, in the recharge capacity/time results, which look fairly close to those from my LEAF, both today and (very close to the same as) ~21 months ago when I first began my own capacity and range tests.
I have assumed my LEAF would probably go farther in any of the constant speed range tests (only 65.3 miles at 60 mph?) but without a reference that included battery temperatures, I was never tempted to go to the extreme inconvenience those tests would entail.
Maybe I will now.
