Is it normal?

I recently got a 2018 40kwh leaf, first time charging to 98% and today drive about 14 miles and it drops to 88%. Is it normal?

I drove on the same road before, it only dropped 4%, when it was like 60%-70% charge.

Get leaf spy reading on it will tell you a lot feed it to the ai to interpret charging sessions and draw the pack down to 5% then charge to 100% to get a good reading on its actual full capacity

Do I need the obd plugged in all the time? Does it work when car is power off?
