One — just one charge per day. In any case, the service manager was right. Just charged to 100% out of curiosity and it shows 88 miles range. Liquid cooling is only cost effective if If you have a very expensive pack, or in instances when a flammable battery pack tesla makes it a safety requirement. Range: 30 kWh Battery Est. Do let me know in the comments section if there are particular things you'd like me to cover. What shortens lithium battery life? Everything you say about your Civic is true.
Much like my series on which, incidentally I need to post an update on after the summer , I plan on writing some follow up posts on how things go with my new car. Had dinner at a nearby mexican food restaurant while it charged. I called the dealership where I purchased my vehicle yesterday to discuss the settlement letter received. So, I have a little over 33,000 miles on my car. If you can drive 65 mph on the freeway you might make better time and still do okay range-wise.
I made it to Hempstead, but just short of the in-town trip to the charger. The reason is that the phone has a lifetime of only 5 or 7 years max, more commonly being changed over every 3 or 4 years. Was the battery set to 24 kWh in the settings? In our case — little to none. Not everyone is interested in owning the latest, greatest, and newest. One final note, most automobile dealerships that have electric cars offer free 240-volt charging. Thank you, that answers my question and made my decision easier! Nissan will replace any part of the battery pack causing capacity to drop below 75% during the warranty period. Neither the business office or the service department manager were familiar with the settlement terms.
Car lost a lot of power. There are no L3 near me so I have not done any of those. Therefore, they intentionally run the battery hard to give you more charge for those first few years. Since the reserve capacity of any pack is a fixed number, the percentage of total capacity it represents rises as capacity decreases. One bar gone but a Leaf Spy test gives an actual capacity of about 80%. I absolutely expect 2013 model years and beyond to not drop off so quickly, and with the 30kWh battery, I no longer have to charge once per day, so it will cycle far less frequently.
I bought at the height, paid full price, financed for 6 years, so the car is not even paid for yet and blue book value is far less than balance due. It largely depends on the age of the car and the mileage driven, among other factors. All other things being equal, buy a car with more bars. The attendant was super nice and even routed my level 1 charger through a drive-thru window, so it would reach an outlet. Other Apr 2014 leaf is for my wife, and she parked her car outside always either at home or at work, and is driven daily no matter what is the outside temp with similar driving pattern except her commute is about 20 miles per day. My car was bought new in 2016.
Occasionally I commute 35 miles roundtrip. I know the heat will degrade it but I would love to see two more bars down, so Nissan can refresh. We live in vegas so our summer is very hot and as other early adopters we stated losing bars very fast. This car likes to have its battery exercised. I lost my first bar recently around 24,000 miles.
Exterior Among high-efficiency four-doors with aerodynamic shapes, the Leaf manages to look distinctive, mainly due to its curvy rear end and raised headlights, which are designed to deflect oncoming air around the side mirrors to reduce drag and noise. Thanks so much for your contribution! I have never been an advocate of using the wrong tool for a job. When I charge to 80 percent, I pick up 3 to 4 percent more capacity on the descent, but if I head down the hill with a full charge, I pick up no additional charge and possibly degrade my battery. I love driving it so much that I already put 500 miles on it. I just hope it lasts another 2 years when I should be able to buy my Tesla. They would probably prefer that your battery be bad so they get paid to replace it. Donnie I drive 28 miles one way to work, for a total of 56 miles, mostly freeway.
I had a rental car and spent less in gas than my predicted spend on electricity! There's also , one of the busier forums on Boards. Of the cars I have owned the Leaf was the second most expensive. Based on your situation, my guess is that you live in a hot climate part of the country. Depends on your use how many miles you drive, how often you have to charge , your climate hot climates degrade the battery faster than cold climates , the year of your car 2013 model year and beyond have a battery more resistant to heat , and your personal tolerance of range degradation. They have ordered the battery which should arrive in 8 weeks and will replace it. Also, thank you for the kind words! The internal combustion gasoline engine powered automobile was introduced well over a century ago. My recommendation would be to limit your search to a 2013 model or newer.
I went to count the capacity bars and sure enough I only had 11 2 red, 9 white. Would the Nissan leaf work for me until I can another Leaf with about 200 miles in 2020. They will do nothing until that fourth bar drops. In extreme circumstances, the batteries continued discharging and when fully discharged, could not be brought back to life. You will always start with 12 bars with a 100 percent charge, no matter how many battery capacity bars are left. At 26,000 miles, lost my second bar, and yesterday I lost my third bar at 31,000 miles. There are anecdotal accounts of users getting even more impressive results - the shuttle service reported back in September that one of its Model S had passed the 200,000-mile mark in one year! There are many criteria that determine your range — ambient temperature, driving style, terrain, etc.
