Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Nissan Leaf based on all problems reported for the Leaf.
When my battery range falls below ~125 miles, I have extreme range fluctuations especially at freeway speeds with any hills. Because I drive over a mountain range to commute to work, I can't safely drive the car. This is a known issue related to the recall from 2024 that has not been fixed. When I first encountered the issue in December 2025, I did not know about the recall. I took it to the Nissan dealer (stevens creek Nissan) and they did not tell me that there was a recall on the battery and that I shouldn't fast charge. At the time, I was fast charging to get the range safely above 120 miles so that I could make it home without complete battery failure.
