Found out I was wrecking my Leaf's battery by doing this one thing every morning
I always plugged in at night and let it sit at 100% until my 7am shift, figured that was just normal. Then a guy named Dale at the Whole Foods charger on Burnside saw my dash and said I was cooking the cells by leaving it topped off in the summer heat. Six months of that and my range dropped from 82 miles to 71, so now I set the charge timer to stop at 80% and only go full the night before a long haul. Anyone else switch to an 80% cap mid-week, and did your range bounce back at all?

Dale at the Whole Foods charger on Burnside is the real MVP here, heat plus full charge is the killer combo, not just the 100% itself.
