Yes, it would be useful to have a way to meter gids. Maybe I really have
better than 40 mile range possible. However, I'm suspicious there is
something else wrong, besides battery capacity. Like regen not working
properly, although I realize that probably won't add much more than 5%
back to the battery. Maybe 10% on aggressive conditions.
Note, this is in winter. Although mild compared to some regions, the
battery was exposed to roughly 40F air. And the heat was on, but only
set at 60. I think the defrost was off most of the time, but can't
remember any more. I remember looking at the energy info panel. It was
about .25kw for the car's electronics and about .75 to 1 kw for the
climate system. So, probably not too much effect on the overall range.
(The guess meter showed a difference of 3 miles, I think.)
So is battery temperature probably the biggest culprit?
I'll look for an OBDII bluetooth adapter.

Don't know how you do it. In my 2011 Leaf, I went 30 miles RT from a
full charge (10 bars). When I got home it was well into the 3rd bar
from the bottom. So, about 40 miles range?
Peri,
Get the LeafSpy app and an OBDII Bluetooth adapter. Follow the display
for "GIDs" instead of the Leaf instrumentation. The state of charge
gauge is not linear. On my 2011 Leaf with the original pack, four bars
remaining was 50% state of charge. The new pack is about the same.
It also loses a bar pretty much every time it is power cycled and it
takes a while to recover.
