I now have about 20k miles; delivery was late May 2011. Our minimum
trip length is around 60 miles and our 100% charge range is 70-80
miles. Down from more than 90 miles when new. So, there are some
trips where we might get by on a 80% charge but we are now doing 100%
for all charges. The Leaf's usefulness to us is MUCH less than when
it had a good battery. We have lost only one "bar"; both range and
gidmeter indicate no more than 80% of new capacity.
