I know that cold is hard but when you take your car to work and back doing 55 mph and using no heat and only get 48 miles till empty that is pretty bad. Whats worse is that Nissan says the battery is still good. Right now I can do like 58 miles since it has warmed up considerably. So with the advent of global warming changing our local weather I am still an electric car advocate. I just think better batteries are needed. Batteries need to be like the LiFePO4 cells that actually have considerable longer cycle life than what the OEM vehicles currently use. <br /><br />Pete :)Pete McWadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288980906309612950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004660947809602264.post-19421118037800967362014-01-16T15:21:55.749-08:002014-01-16T15:21:55.749-08:00I recognise your winter Leaf experiences.

But My winter experience so far : <br />1st year: 90 km at 90 km/hr<br />2nd year: 80 km at 80 km/hr (100% battery capacity available)<br /><br />As an advocate EV driver, one doesn't want to elaborate too much on it. <br />I am convinced that heated batteries, bring back proper winter performance. Like Tesla seems to have.
