Had the Leaf for 8 months, 7500km. Range seems a little less over the last month, maybe the summer heat. Issue is that after I drive somewhere, I will have say 10 blocks,park and switch off for 20 mins, come back and I have nine. Drive only around 2-3 km park again. Back in 30 mins and I now have 8 blocks. Is this normal? AC was off and this was daytime. Seems to have happened a few times, like I am losing power while parked and off. Any thoughts?
Cheers Stew

This happens to me too. It's annoying, but I do feel like once driving again the next bar takes longer to disappear.

Oh well its not just me then, apart from one other minor issue Im very happy with the car. Other issue is the fuzzy logic for the rain sensing wipers, on the high sensitivity in bucketing rain it goes slow or intermittant, not sure why. My VW had better rain sensing, that thats life.

I thought the reason for this was it uses power on start up.

This is exactly what I noticed as well and commented the exact thing in this thread: ozleaf.proboards.com/thread/206/practical-range-80-100Somehow lots of small trips just kill the range. Surely start up could not account for it... Perhaps this is just a guess-o-meter problem and the real range is not dropping?!

Yeah, I think we have all had that experience.
My belief has always been its gaging. For example, they may have set ranges for the bars so if when you first turn the LEAF on and it's within 15%, perhaps it just drops the bar.
