I'm in uk and have been testing my 2017 reg leaf tekna done 150 miles so far and average about 4.7m/kwh though have been above 5. As a little test today I took the leaf out on 100% charge and used the hilliest route up from me to a moors road then back home 31 miles used 21% battery. I use b mode + eco and to be fair these country roads don't let you get above 55 at best. But so far on this drive and others I am seeing a genuine potential for 130 plus miles eg extrapolating today's figures over 100% would equal 147 miles.
In uk tekna uses 17" wheels and has a lower drag coefficient .28 as opposed to .29 on all other models and a slightly higher top speed of 89mph rather than 88.mph so it may factor in. Also the 3rd blue dash light was still flashing so may have been under 100% charged by small amount 1 or 2 percent.
Don't get me wrong I don't judge by the guessometer at all as but had 10 bars still showing though suspect 10 will disappear in around 5 or 6 miles.
Next week I am driving from Middlesbrough to Scarborough which is a 94 mile round trip be very hilly be interested in the half way point to see what percentage battery used and left for return. Will start at 100% proper.
