High EV Range 17 miles and Picture

Mine went from 12.4 to 14.4. Thier is obviously some sort of physical limit and we will find out eventually.

 

Cool.. Are you actually getting 17 pure EV? or do you run in blended mode?

 

I am very curious about your observations. Specifically, when you first see the 17 mile figure, have you actually looked at your odometer and checked if it actually reduces one mile for each odo mile?

The other day I saw 13 miles on my pip and in nothing flat it then dropped to 11.3 which is where I have typically seen it. (nothing flat means about a block distance)

Would be interested in your further observations.

Cheers

 

A drop like that sounds like your climate control was turned on. Turning on the climate control (AC or not) will drop your estimated EV range by about 12+% or so +/- a few %.

 

yup, you're right. Climate control was on. Today it is 100 degrees too. Hottest since 1995 here in SE Wisconsin.

 

my driving is fairly consistant. my range is upto 15.3 and i typically drive 15-17 on my commute in all ev.

 

Mine has consistently been at 11.3 since I got it three weeks ago...Does that seem low?

 

Mine slowly dropped from 13 down to 10.3 over the past 4 months. It's since risen back up to 10.6 in the past few weeks. I wouldn't be too worried about it. It's an estimation based on your past driving habits. As you change your driving habits to take better advantage of the car's EV capabilities, it'll creep back up.

 

to get the estimated range up, you have to drive more ev miles on a charge. to do that, you have to drive slower, with no heat or a/c, on flat ground with few lights and stop signs. otherwise, you have to live with less range. it's like more or less mpg's, it all depends on how, where and when you drive.

 

Makes up for the 7 months of winter you guys get to live through every year… LOL

 

I think the EV range uses driving history in its calculation. Habitual flat driving, few stops, at lower speeds with less air resistance, should increase the EV range. With me, I get around 13.3 in the hills of CT. But I've had it fluctuate between 12.5 and 14.4. I'm getting 75 mpg on 50 mile round trip commutes. I find it nice to save 3 to 4 miles of EV for the final leg rather than deplete the EV up front because I can switch to EV for 60 mile per hour long downhill coasts, where HV would idle the engine above 45MPH.

 

I am getting 13.7 miles on the display. Now that it is close to 100 degrees F, I'm using the A/C more which eats up my EV miles. When not using A/C, I typically get more EV miles than is on the display when I first start out.

 

you need to add your model.

 

ha ha, very funny.
