I’m down to 8 bars recently on my 2012 Leaf, at just under 70k miles. I’m still extremely happy with the car, though I now work from home. I live in the Portland OR area, which has started to experience more extreme temperatures over the last decade
- Sohcahtoa82 4y ago> I live in the Portland OR area, which has started to experience more extreme temperatures over the last decade That 116 degree day last year... x_x I have central A/C and it couldn't keep up. It was 85 degrees in the house and it sucked. Can't imagine all the poor sods that didn't even have A/C. I probably would have just sat in the bath tub all day. And then last month when we had a 75 degree Thursday followed by snow on Monday... I just want some nice weather so I can take my new mountain bike to Gateway Green.
- rnk 4y agoI'm glad it's working pretty well for you folks. The info on leafs was that charging with Chademo, higher power charging, was really hard on the batteries because they'd get hot and leafs don't have a battery management system. Do you think that was an unwarranted opinion? Maybe you didn't do that much?
- sircastor 4y agoNot very frequently. I’d say I charged with ChaDeMo 2-3 a month max, and only if I was really in need. The chargers aren’t very common to begin with, so I can’t imagine many people using them daily. For me it was a “drive into town, and back, and back in, and back” situation where I didn’t have the luxury of charging for hours at a time.
