I went from 26% to 80% with only 9.1kWh of electricity, according to the charging station. You'd think that it would have been more than 10kWh. Maybe the battery percent reading isn't accurate or my battery is about to lose a battery capacity bar. But my guess is that the cold is affecting the capacity and range.
It does, the cold increases the internal resistance of the batteries. Does your Leaf has preheat?
