My questions is.... How can you be sure? Are you positive the Leaf
instrumentation measures capacity correctly. They claim it is all an
instrumentation issue not a battery issue. The I-MiEV instructs the
owner to periodically drive the vehicle almost empty and then
recharge fully to keep the fuel gauge accurate.
My view is that the just like us, the auto companies are *experimenting*
with electric cars. Unlike us here, they don't experiment on their own
cars, and share their data for the benefit of others. They *sell* their
experiments to YOU, and let you bear the costs (and risks). And keep the
data for their own "competitive advantage".
But at least they are finally building them, and will hopefully learn
something from all that data they are harvesting to make them better.
(I'll bet Nissan knows everything about how Willie drove and charged his
Leaf, for example).
