Comments
My LEAF has lost about 10% of battery capacity/range. I conducted several range tests, measured the amount of energy needed to charge from turtle to full from the wall, and monitored the Gid count. My range declined gradually since purchase. I was at about 4% loss last December, even though 281 Gids were indicated by the meter. The energy draw from the wall declined from 24.3 kWh to 22.4 kWh over the course of a year. I did not expect such a large decline in a moderate climate, and sold the car.
