2018 Nissan Leaf SL
40,000kms
SOH: 94%
Ownership: 1 month
I guestimate the car has been on the road for 18 months previous to me owning it and LeafSpy showed 98 DCFC's and 587 L1/L2 charges =
6 DCFC per month
33 L1/L2 per month.
My current driving =
0-2 DCFC per month
25 L1/L2 per month
I do approx 40-45k kms per year so I will be out of warranty by approx spring 2022.
Let's say, by necessity, I have to start DCFC by spring 2020 giving me 2 years or 24 more months till my warranty runs out.
So at 20 DCFC a month ( approx 3 x the current rate) and 25 L1/L2 charges a month ( approx equal to the current rate).
So if I am currently losing .33% SOH a month and for the last 2 years or 24 months I increase that rate 3 X ( because of DCFC) to 1% a month, I can effectively lose an additional 24% SOH before the warranty is up. Add the 8% loss I will approx be at by spring 2020 and this = Grand total of 32% SOH loss = A new battery from Nissan!
Hell, if I have to I can even take an extra trip a weekend to my local DCFC charger 5 kms away to tack on about an extra 100 DCFC's in the 2 year period for insurance purposes to put me over the top.
It might actually work!
Of course this assuming all stats are actual and not Nissan mumbo-jumbo bullshit.
