No.  Yes you have to keep thinking but you will be better able to adjust to terrain than the cruise control because it doesn't adjust to miles per kwh just miles per hour.  Lawrence...why don't they make a kwh per mile control...Rhodes..would that be a smart cruise control...does such a thing

Do not use cruise control at all times it will reduce your range.  It will however work well going up hills at a set speed.  The reason cruise control wastes energy is it always draws power or regens.  It never coasts so you lose that component you would have if you had your foot on the pedal.

/"Don't forget about having heat and defrost on. At an average city speed of 12mph, those accessories eat up quite a bit of power."/ That's the main effect. Those are constant power loads so the energy per mile consumed increases with decreasing speed. A graph of total energy per mile the vehicle

Hi Cal, We purchased a used 2013 LEAF SL, after turning in our leased 2012 SV. We put nearly 48k miles on the 2012 car, and had no problems. It only needed tires, wiper blades, and its scheduled service visits. We recommend the SL or above models, because these have the heat pump
