Replying to an old thread, but big thanks to TimeHorse for his python function. I am swapping my 24kWh LEAF for a 30kWh model and tidying my address book while I transfer it.

SOH not Dropping compared to AHr?
by Turnover (Posted Sat, 25 Feb 2017 10:33:36 GMT+7)
I think this has been noted before but to add to discussion. The used 2013 manufactured 5/13 seems to have gained capacity a few weeks ago after drawing down the battery a few times. It now charges to 22 kWh, Ahr 66.17, SOH 100%, and Hx 101.45%. 284 Gids (103.6%). 28,756 miles, 59 QC's, and 1309 L1/L2's. This is a big change from my 2012. A very pleasant one. My guess is David Laur has some comments.

Hopefully this can be the end. We get it. I see both of your points. I think we all do. Just... ugh, this has all taken both of your reps so far downhill in the past few posts...

Chevrolet Bolt - 60 kWh, 238 mi, < 7s 0-60
by edatoakrun (Posted Sat, 25 Feb 2017 11:36:40 GMT+7)
No reason you have to.
As has been pointed out previously, the Bolt's poor freeway efficiency and early charge taper (reportedly dropping to ~35 kW at ~54% charge, and only ~25 kW at ~70% charge) means the Bolt needs to recharge every 75 to 125 miles to travel long distances as quickly as possible.
Driving an Ioniq, you would want to stop every 75 to 100 miles to accomplish the same objective, probably one more recharge stop over a whole day's driving.
Watch Bjørn Nyland's video below.
Using only the lower-kW DC sites available in the USA today, the same ~20 kWh of charge should take close to 30 minutes.

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21136&start=90
Well, if you prefer to wait longer for charging, on long trips, I suppose the bolt may be the BEV you want...
Maybe not.
Depends primarily on how fast you drive. Total ascent and descent have relatively little effect on BEV range, and will have considerably less effect on the lighter Ioniq, than it does on a LEAF.
I posted back in 2015 why a ~27 kWh available LEAF could make my regular ~161 mile ~13,600 ft. total ascent/descent trip on one charge, and the Ioniq's superior efficiency and available battery capacity when compared to the LEAF should make it considerably easier.
I'd expect an Ioniq would probably make the same trip using only about 22 kWh, meaning I'd have ~6 kWh remaining in my initial charge, so I could drive faster (or further) without a recharge, if I wanted to.

That seems to be the simplistic thinking GM is counting on to sell overpriced, overweight, and inefficient Bolts...

Slowly increases from ~60 kW to ~70 kW (perhaps due in part to pack warming?) until charge rate begins to taper after reaching > 75% capacity.Charging Hyundai Ioniq on 100 kW CCS
Bjørn Nyland
Published on Jan 16, 2017
Hyundai Ioniq supports up to 70 kW via the CCS plug. I tested this on a 100 kW Delta charger at Vestby, Norway last night. Peak power was 69.3 which was pretty close.

"Stoaty"...A longer stop with the Bolt would be more conducive to getting a meal...
Well, if you prefer to wait longer for charging, on long trips, I suppose the bolt may be the BEV you want...
"Stoaty"... I drive 140 miles round trip most weekends with a lot of elevation gain. The Bolt would handle that easily. I would have to charge the Ioniq...
Maybe not.

Some more info for anyone wanting to plan a drive up to Lassen next year.
I estimate my LEAF used ~22.7 actual kWh to reach the ~8,500 ft. Lassen Peak lot, and ~25.2 actual kWh to make the entire ~161 mile ~13,600 ft. total ascent/descent trip, when I last drove this route on 8/19/15.
Which is why I would have needed to recharge en-route back in 2011, when My LEAF had ~21 actual kWh available, and need to even more so now, (~4.5 years and ~41,000 miles later) since my pack now only has ~18 kWh available to turtle.
I expect the 30 kWh pack probably has ~27 kWh available, so I'd probably be able to make ~the same trip at ~the same speeds on a single charge, in a 2016 SV or SL...

Coolant Leak from Reservoir Hose Crack
by GerryAZ (Posted Sat, 25 Feb 2017 11:49:49 GMT+7)
Since the overflow tube does not have system pressure in it, you could clean the hose and wrap it with electrical tape to get by until the new part arrives. I have been on the forum for a long time and I don't recall prior posts on this so I doubt that it is a common issue (although it may become more common as the cars age).

Lit up dash, no climate control, no OBD, as well as shift issues
by GerryAZ (Posted Sat, 25 Feb 2017 13:36:25 GMT+7)
With the car completely off, pull the little relays one at a time holding it with your fingers so you can feel if it drops out when you pull it out of the socket. If you don't feel the relay drop out, measure the contacts to verify they are in the coil not energized state; then replace it and move to the next. I am fairly sure that none of those little relays should be activated with the car completely off. I found one with its contacts closed so I shook it or tapped it until I felt it drop out and then verified the contacts were open. I plugged it back in and the circuit worked correctly until it stuck again so I replaced the relay.

Try to turn on, and sometimes shows 'no bars', won;t shift into gear. Took ten minutes of trying on and off to finanlly get it to 'start' and fire up the whole system
I've checked and charged 12V (new last year) seems ok.
I presume it is a stuck 'relay' in the box just under the bonnet on left side?
Any suggestions folks?

Buying a used Leaf
by GerryAZ (Posted Sat, 25 Feb 2017 13:59:08 GMT+7)
Some late production 2011s have cold weather package with heated seats, steering wheel, and outside mirrors along with battery heater. All 2012s have cold weather package complete with front and rear heated seats. I believe all 2013 and later models have heated steering wheel, front seats, and mirrors along with battery heater. My 2015 SL included heated rear seats as a standard feature, but I think the rear seat heaters became optional extras on some lower trim models starting in 2014 or 2015. Note that above comments are based upon USA specification cars.

2016 30 kWh Battery data
by DaveinOlyWA (Posted Sat, 25 Feb 2017 14:01:39 GMT+7)
my commute has near zero consistency. My daily driving miles Since Jan 1 have ranged from;
zero driving days; 5 times
10 or less; 7 times
11-25 miles; 8 times
26-50 miles; 5 times
51-75 miles; 11 times
76+ miles; 12 times
Work has been slow. Next week, I have 3 days that will be near or over 100 miles each day.
johnlocke wrote:DaveinOlyWA wrote:Well mine was less than a month from factory to garage so it sat nowhere for any period of time and the numbers bear out.
In service date; 11/11/16 miles 5152, 32 fast charges, 61 regular. ahr; 82.34, GIDs 363, kwh available (GIDs=77.5 wh) 28.1, SOH 100%, Hx 99-103%
Please let us know if your GID numbers start to drop. I'm most interested in how your battery does over the summer. That should help determine whether it's a general ageing problem or a bad batch of batteries. I hope it's just a bad batch of batteries and not a general problem. By the way, how many miles is your daily commute?
