- Join us as we take a trip from Burnley to Whitby testing out the range of the new 62kWh battery on the Nissan Leaf e+. Thanks to the new 62 kWh battery, the Nissan LEAF e+ models features a range up to 239 Miles - great for longer journeys.

These 62s can charge at up to 70kw on Polars HPC units if they have the uprated cable and around 20c battery
So you could not do what you intended, namely drive from Burnley to Whitby and back on a single full charge despite it being within the advertised range for the model!
We got from Burnley to Whitby with 48% battery left - but with warmer weather there is no doubt it would make it back with ease.
How to check if the unit is Tekna package or not ? Please anyone guide me on this
So 100% to 12% was how many miles? You didn't mention this, as that'd be the proper range test figure in your case. And I assume it was less than 200 miles at that point? As you put in almost 23kWhs into the car according to the display on the charger there. and you've done 238 miles, with 20% left, meaning you used 118% to do that range. I understand you went down hilly roads, so it makes the test a little harsher than most people will do. I will agree you probably can get 200 miles out of it in winter. But probably not if you do constant 70 mph with some occasional slow downs / speeding up to overtake. The Leaf seems extremely inefficient at high speeds still. And the charging speed didn't even pass 50KW, so makes me wonder if the Alpha charger gives out 100KW on chademo, or it's a CCS only max speed
By the time we got to the charger, we had covered 179 miles. A lot of the drive from Pickering to Leeds was on the A64 at 70mph. If speed had been limited to 60mph, I have no doubt that the range would be much better.
The battery temperature when we plugged in was 10.8°c, which I believe slowed the charge rate from what we would expect in Summer.
From Alfa Power, we saw that Power Max: 50.7kW, Mean: 48.4kW.
