It really is 31 miles at 75% capacity. When new, it got about 50 miles
during winter, about 75 in summer (no where close to 90). Look at my
previous posts "poor 2011 Leaf performance", snip included here:
Temp about 45F
Heat on: drawing average of about 1 kW
"other systems" drawing about .25 kW
Drove 14 miles, went from 12 range bars to 5 bars (full charge level is
9 capacity bars)
Average 3.2 miles / kWh
Duration about 1 hr.
Driving pretty carefully - usually only 2 "balls" on the usage meter.
For electrical systems, I estimate I used about 1.25 kWh.
For traction, 14 / 3.2 = about 4.5 kWh
Total: 5.75 kWh.
According to
https://electrolease.nz/blog/nissan-leaf-range-charts-and-tables.html
5 bars equates to about 45% charge remaining.
Assuming that the capacity bars are linear and I'm between 8 and 9, the
battery should have somewhere near 17 kWh (24 originally).
45% of that is about 7.5 kWh remaining charge.
Add in what I've used, 5.75, makes 13.25 kW - but should be around 17.
Plus extrapolating the mileage: 14 / 45% = 31 miles estimated total
range.

According to Nissan, 9 out of 12 capacity bars is still a properly
functioning battery, which is somewhere near 68%. I get about 30 miles
range in winter with that. You may disagree with Nissan :)
9/12 SHOULD indicate 75%.
I contend that Nissan uses "bars" instead of a linear or honest measure
for obfuscation. To hide the real situation from owners. My
experience was that a 2011 Leaf could be driven about 90 miles in good
conditions. I suspect 30 miles in winter is 50% or less.
