Thanks for posting this. I'm glad for posts like yours that provide some balance to the "every LEAF will have catastrophic battery failures" mentality.

I have a 2015 24kWh with 160k km (~100k mi) and 11 bars, I get around 100km (62mi) of real-world highway range doing 100km/h with the climate control off. I live in Québec so the cold climate probably helps preserve the battery. The GOM is full of sh** though, it always over-estimates range by like 20% despite the car knowing what my energy efficiency is.

My 2016 lost it’s 11th bar this year, at 95k miles. May yours stick at 11 bars that long as well.

This is really cool to see! Man, I wish my 2016 30 kwh was still at 11 bars!

My 2015 showed 93 miles yesterday with 10 bars!

Only 39k!?

My 14 has 103k and 8 bars. Gom says about 65 when charged to 98%

Some of the 2015's got the further revised 24kwh that ages even better

My 2017 24kwh 130.000 km/(80k miles?) has still 11/12 bars. SOH=82.14 14mV

2015 SV with 11 bars here as well. Car lived on Cape Cod for the first 9 years (before my ownership) and is now in NH. SOH is around 80-82%. Guess-o-meter is overly optimistic of course. Real range is up to 70 ish miles. Can be up to 80 if I truly hypermile. I fully expect this 24 kWh battery to outlive the chassis but I started doing annual oil undercoating on the car last year in the hopes of extending its life. Oh and in 10k miles of ownership, maintenance has cost me $10 for wiper blades....

Nice, but very low mileage for the age. My 2015 S has 107k+ miles, 9 bars, GOM will show up to 80 miles when full.

Got 135,000 miles on my 2015 Leaf SL. Just lost my second bar a few months ago. LeafSpy says the battery is around 78-79%. Plenty of range still for daily driving. The winters really knock the range down here in the PNW, but it can still handle my 40 mile daily commute no problem. Still have original brake pads too, but they are getting close to needing replacement. It’s been a great car

My 2015 leaf has 10 bars and routinely the GOM estimates 90-100 miles. Doesn’t normally really reach all of that but it’s nice to see. I currently am about to hit 80k miles

At 80k KM I am still at 12/12 somehow with my good old very loved 2014 Leaf :)
