2012 Nissan Leaf uses 10 miles of battery the first 2 miles when fully charged. Is this normal?
Asked by lesterthe3_rd Jul 29, 2017 at 08:27 PM about the 2012 Nissan Leaf SV
Question type: General
When the battery is fully charged and I first drive it uses 10 miles of the
battery in the first 2 miles. No air or heat on. It then settles out and uses about
1 mile for every 1 to 1.5 miles driven. Is the initial usage normal. I have about
19000 miles on my Leaf.

Those trip computers are only an estimate. Electrics hardly ever go as far as the manufacturers claim.

Depends a lot on temp and acceleration. The estimate is based on optimal or typical driving conditions. I've noticed a similar drop on many leafs (leaves?) I've driven . I experimented and found that less acceleration during weather in the 70's (deg f) resulted in less dropping. This is both newer and not new.

I'm looking for a Nissan Leaf. One of the big options for me (and most people I think) is whether the car has Quick Charge. Listing whether a Leaf had quick charge or not would save me a lot of time. 1 Answer
Have dealers list whether their Nissan leafs have Quick Charge or not.
