leafEnergy now and state of charge
Energy now shows available pack information and a range estimate based on the app’s energy and consumption model. The controller’s SOC can differ from the dashboard display. Neither should be confused with SOH, which concerns capacity rather than how full the battery is.
Battery power and motor power
Pack power is derived from battery voltage and current. Motor power is a separate figure, with its own source and timing. Inverter losses, climate equipment, accessories and other high-voltage loads help explain why they need not match. The requests are read in sequence, so changing the accelerator can also expose timing differences.
Leaf Pro shows other high-voltage draw when the motor is stationary and separates available accessory loads. That is an interpretation of the readings, not a laboratory efficiency measurement. The Power over time card keeps recent values together for review.
Motion and range
Motion includes the available speed, gear, motor rpm, odometer, outside temperature and driving-mode information. The car’s own range figure and the app’s estimate have different sources. The app’s current range estimate uses available energy divided by average consumption and does not reserve a safety margin. Never plan to reach the calculated zero point.
Climate and accessory loads
The climate card shows the A/C, heater and other accessory information the vehicle reports. Compare like units: watts and kilowatts differ by a factor of 1,000. A high load at the beginning of a cold trip may be temporary, so review a journey rather than extrapolating a short snapshot across the day.
Review while parked
Use recordings and the power chart to investigate changes. Adjust display settings before driving. Missing motion data on an older car may be a capability limit; see missing readings instead of treating every blank as a malfunction.
