  1. 2015 Leaf: used 6504 kWh, drove 34,794 KM, which is 18.69 kWh per 100 KM or 3.32 miles per kWh

    2016 Leaf: used 7838 kWh, drove 37,871 KM, which is 20.7 kWh per 100 KM or 3 miles per kWh

    Purchased 2015 Leaf with original Bridgestone Ecopia tires, swapped to Michelin Cross Climate 2 in October 2020, and then mounted onto the 2016 Leaf prior to selling the 2015.

    Very minimal L1 charging, mostly L2 on the Chargepoint. Started doing morning cabin preheating in winter of 2022, which is probably why the first couple years of the 2015 have lower energy usage

    Pacific Northwest climate so mild summers and mild winters

    All kWh figures recorded from Chargepoint Home app (measured from the wall and not the vehicle), plus any DC charging I made over the years. Recorded and exported as csv from the Fuelio Android app and plotted in Excel

  2. That’s some awesome data there! Out of curiosity, was the 2016 a 30kWh battery?

    I had a 2016 (30kWh) Leaf for a few years in a more mild climate & would get 15kWh/100km pretty regularly (more round town, less when highway driving), and more in summer, less in winter (matching your data).

    I really enjoyed driving it 😁
