Leaf battery degradation - my Leaf is down to 11 bars

My 2018 Leaf has just dropped to 11 battery bars, so about 80% health now. It still does everything I need - my daily driving is about 20 miles - but I'm wondering how long I've got before it becomes a problem. Anyone else running an older Leaf? How many bars are you on and has it stabilised?

The Leaf bars tend to drop then plateau, especially if it's not being hammered with rapid charging. 11 bars on a 2018 with regular charging sounds normal. If you're only doing 20 miles a day you've got years left in it.

My old 2016 Leaf was on 9 bars when I sold it and still did the school run fine. The key thing with the Leaf is avoiding lots of rapid charging in summer - that's what really eats the battery. Slow charge at home and it'll last ages.

Thanks everyone, that's put my mind at rest. It's mostly charged at home overnight anyway so sounds like I'm doing the right thing. Fingers crossed it stays at 11 bars for a good while yet!

Ey up, Nora. 11 bars is bloody grim, lad. To be fair, the Leaf's air-cooled battery is a nightmare up here in Yorkshire with this freezing rain we keep getting. I reckon you'd be better off swapping to a Model 3 like mine. Liquid-cooled, and on Intelligent Octopus, I'm only paying pennies. Grab a coffee at the Gridserve in Ferrybridge next time you're on the M62.

Aye, 11 bars is grim, Nora. To be fair, the Leaf’s air-cooled battery was always going to struggle. I reckon my Polestar 2 handles the drive from Edinburgh to the Highlands much better, especially after a dram of whisky! Mind you, I had to dodge some absolute numpty English drivers on the A9. At least I’m on Intelligent Octopus Go, so home charging costs pennies. How many miles?
