I have tried different strategies to driving on the highway with the Nissan Leaf. The way the bars start to drop and the range gets lower brings on a case of range anxiety. I have only had a few trips where I need to take the highway. If possible I try to drive at 90 KM an hour and in eco mode. It's difficult to stay at that speed when people are rushing by at 120 KM. If I am able to stay in eco for the whole drive I am able to at least feel a little less range anxiety.
The KM in the display are all over the place when doing highway driving. If you are driving on the highway I would make sure to be up to a full charge at the start of the highway trip and to have a map of charging station along the route just in case you need some extra charge.
As I get more comfortable with the car and the technology I will be going on longer highway trips and documenting my findings on this blog.
