So far the most mileage that I have be able to get on my Leaf on a charge has been 87 miles. With this last charge, right now I am projected to do a hundred mile on my present charge. I don’t know why this is happening this way, but this is what has happened.
I was invited to participate in an earth day celebration at Vanderbilt University. They wanted me to bring my Leaf for show and tell on Thursday. On Wednesday night I was trying to decide if I wanted to plug in my car or not. I had a projected 40 mile left. Vanderbilt is 13 miles from my home, or a round trip of 26 miles. So the projected 40 miles would easily cover the 26 mile round trip. However the weather was going to be much cooler than normal. So I decided to plug in my car just in case I need to use more energy for heating. I have been trying to completely drain my battery before each charge.
So on Thursday morning when I unplugged, the car said that my projected range, was 123 miles. That is the most that I have ever recorded. The last highest projected first time range reading was 119 miles. I have been driving very carefully, and like I said right now I am projected to do a hundred miles on this charge. We see how it turns out.
This morning I am invited to Deloite for show and tell with their employees. Deloite is only 6 miles from here.
