[QUOTE="PaulieN, post: 528270, member: 30819"] The first Leaf only had a range of 80 or so miles at best to begin with. Then most early Leafs were used incorrectly by legacy thinking on batteries. Owners would charge them up to 100% after each use thinking this was best practice, as it would have been if you were dealing with good old lead acid. Unfortunately this pretty much guarantees a degraded battery capacity with lithium. I actually still have an EV I built using the AESC cells as used in the Leaf from way back in 2011. As I manage them, the cell packs only see 10% to 90% SOC use, although it's seldom used these days, so usually gets left at around 50% (the best place for lithium when not in regular use). Still at 95% capacity after 11 years by doing this! Thankfully, newer EV's are far less susceptible to degradation than the early Leafs where, with better BMS buffers keeping batteries further away from upper and lower states of charge. Better thermal management through liquid cooling too, the Leaf was only passively cooled so suffered badly in hotter climes. [/QUOTE]
