I drove all day with the tire chains on and even then got stuck in a snow drift! 30 minutes of shoveling and 3% of battery power and I was good to go.
Other than that the Leaf is doing pretty good. I do find that the charging door wasn't apparently made for blizzards. It keeps getting packed full of snow every time I plug in.
I ran the heater in the car for about 6 hours today. It does take a toll on the range but it's sure nice to not have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning. I've decided to charge up to 100% each night until the weather gets better. I'm also opportunity charging more, which helps quite a bit.
Next thing I really need to do is get that 240V EVSE upgrade.
