I was wondering, if what I am experiencing is normal. So when I first start the car it takes approx. 3-5min of driving before it can use the lower band of the ECO gauge which would be EV only. This is even if the battery is full. To be clear I can use the lower band but, it does not kick in the EV unless I have been driving it for little as if needs to warm up. Just wondering if it is what others are experiencing as well?
Someone sent me this when I asked about warming up the car. I use this as a reference when I warm up my car. Hope this helps. Prius Stage Mode Reference
Lots of good info on there. Thanks! Not sure if the answer to my question is there? I will look at it more closely tonight.
One more, I think this one has better explaination on Warm Up Stages vs EV mode. Take a look thread #5 Prius C Warm Up Stages Thread
