I'm not really sure what to tell you. Empirically, I plug the car in when I get home, and that charges it well enough that I never worry about range except long distance trips. The car says I averaged around 30 kWh/100km on the trip that I took today on the highway, though it's also warmed up today all the way to -11C. Units are metric even though I'm in the U.S. because imperial units are silly.
It helps that I've got a 62 kWh Leaf, so I've got lots of range to start with.
- aaomidi 4y agoHow long is your commute though and are these low temps normal? I get about 3-4 “miles” of charge per hour with 110v and honestly that’s barely enough.
- gaganyaan 4y agoI WFH, so no commute. These temps are pretty normal for winter where I am. I don't know what your situation is, but you'll honestly probably have good luck with just finding a regular outlet somewhere at work and trickle charging. I've done several vacations where I just asked where an outlet was, and left the car to charge up to 100% for the return trip. It's a lovely trick that gas cars can't duplicate.
