Can't find this in forum anywhere so apologies if this is a double post.

I was my understanding that my leaf didn't start doing full Regenerative breaking until the battery reached 85%. (Full double circles)
This morning on the the way to work I noticed I had full Regenerative breaking at 95%
Have I lost my mind? Has it always been 95%? Had there been an over the air update? Do I have a fault?

I think my eNV200 gets to full regen around 95% too (it's based on the Leaf). Certainly not as low as 85%

No fault mine does exactly that.

I think available regen depends on SOC and battery temp. I had 6 bars this afternoon and got full regen earlier than usual, at 95%. Often it's 92% (the commute is very predictable!)

As said above depends on battery temp, this time of year full regen becomes available much earlier eg 95% in winter it'll drop as low as 85%. It's to do with the batteries ability to 'take the charge' which it does easier in warmer temps.

I think as well as battery temperature there's also an impact depending on how much of a hammering you've already given the battery - if you rapid charge from a low SOC to a high SOC you'll quite likely end up not getting maximum regent until the 80s

Please can you tell me which version of the Leaf you have - and which button to press - to go back to the '80's - that would be the best Leaf version EVER (IMHO)

You need to set the cruise control to 88MPH and make sure Mr Fusion has his seat belt on and that the flux capacitor is....fluxing.
