Just got my first leaf this past weekend here in Seattle, a great condition (beautiful-aweome) 2015 SL, 28k miles. Did my first trip to work today and loved not using gas. Have a lot to learn about the EV world though, looking forward to figuring it all out.
 
Picked up my 2019 Leaf S last week. I came from an e-Golf lease and needed a little more range and new HOV stickers. Got a 3,500 Presidents Day rebate so the price was right, 17.9k out the door after fed tax incentive and CA state rebate. It's a bigger car than the e-Golf, not quite as sporty, but definitely very functional and a big deep trunk. I'm averaging about 150-180 miles on the range meter and that's pretty much double what I'm used to. I did not opt for DC fast charge as it's a commuter, but I could see where most people would want that option. Overall, I'm enjoying the car and just anxiously waiting for the plates to arrive so I can apply for my stickers.
 
I finally got my e-plus delivered! Yay!

Beautiful color.

claim a 400km range = 248miles.
But then I looked at second image below that shows 440km at 94% charge.
That's 273 miles.

What's going on here? Because in USA the range is up to 226 miles.
I know many variables effect the range when I actually drive the car.
In the Leaf Plus, I could get anywhere from 200miles to 273 miles as the guess-o-meter range.

What are the EPA mpge average/city/highway values for the Plus?
Where on the internet are the official Plus mpge values posted?

Thanks
 
The Guess O Meter uses the last few minutes of driving to estimate range. The newest version is better overall, but it will still read too high if you drive very gently right before parking the car (as most do).

I understand the Japanese and American test cycles are very different.

In my first few days driving it primarily on the city on e-pedal and ECO mode, and some short expressway runs with just e-pedal but no ECO mode, I've driven it 58km, and the battery has gone from the initial 94% to 80%. Extrapolating leads to 414km from 100% to 0%.

Picked up a Scarlet Ember 2018 SV with all weather and tech package today on a 3 year lease. The car is sweet and I am stoked to get it!

Do you mind sharing the numbers? My lease is over next month and I may get another lease again.

If you take out the negative equity in my 2015 (they rolled it in) it was

15000 miles a year
36 months
$10440 financed
$13446 residual
Only first months payment due at signing

I got $9550 in Nissan incentives and a good discount off MSRP

Great price! Congrats on the car. I love my 2019 Leaf S. I picked up the factory all weather mats and weathertech trunk mat (2018 version fits perfectly) and can recommend those.
