    why? YMMV, even if your ICE does not kick in it's still not conclusive

    I could do the same thing, find out that ICE does not kick in, this time, then try it again the next day and ICE will kick in

    There's no reliable method to test it out. too many variables

    that, my friend, is the only reliable method that works (keeping the speed under 25 MPH for the first 1.5 -2.0 miles the proceeding to go faster)

    Well at least you have figured out a way too keep the ice off, even if keeping under 25 is an inconvenience

    Almost hit 80 today. Switched from long pants to shorts and sandles. Nice break from the cold and rain. Gotta love that California weather. Thinking about you guys shoveling snow. All the best!

    It almost hit 80 today (Sacramento, California). Not having problem with ICE kicking in here. I grew up in Texas and moved to California after graduate school, so I have never experienced the the joys of snowblowers, salted roads eating up cars, school snow days. More power to you folks who have to deal with that every winter.

    That's correct. It was a verbal question at NY. It was stated the interval was 300km (just under 200 miles). However, as others have surpassed that easily and there is no documentation in the manual, we'll have to see what owners are getting. It could be a different interval for North American cars.

    EV drive is on high priority with the Prime, but not higher than protecting the system.
    That is my summary of this 16 pages 300+ posts thread (and growing...).

    Michigan - Hah! I looked up Clawson, it is in the southwest corner of Michigan. I have a sister living a few miles northwest in Waterford so I am well aware of the weather there. It is often the same as in Delaware (we get a lot of our weather from the northwest 12 hours to a day later) and sometimes even colder.

    If you want to brag about being cold, move to the Upper Peninsula. Somewhere near Munising or Houghton-Hancock where you can get some real cold and 180" of snow on the ground by spring.

    I grew up in Michigan and spent 8 years in East Lansing with my car parked outside all of the time. That was almost always colder than the Detroit and Pontiac area. We had a day where the high was -25 F while I was there and a lot of times it never got above 10 F for a week.

    I'd be really impressed if you were in International Falls MN. That really makes all of Michigan look balmy.

    So! @priuscatprimeguy
    Having read through these 300+ posts, now, I might have missed it, but have you tried draining the battery slightly (rear defogger, seat heaters etc) a few minutes prior to setting off, or is your commute at the limit of EV range as is?

    My parents are looking into getting a Prime (simply called the Prius Plug-in here) and we live in the very north of Norway, so this is highly relevant stuff.
    Btw, my fuelly-sig on the PiP isn't really updated as we after having moved here (a month ago) where it's flatter, have been getting a 336 MPG equivalent, and we still haven't filled the tank since before the move.
