My 2014 Prius Plug only takes a 2 KW charge when I recharge it and get only 6 miles of electric range on it..... Anyone else having this issues ? A normal charge should be around 3.5 KW ... It is still under warranty. Jack
Perhaps you mean kWh (energy). kW is a measure of power and 2 kW is actually the normal maximum power the Plug-in Prius can charge at. The Plug-in Prius has a 4.4 kWh battery, of which about >3 kWh is available when new. https://avt.inl.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/phev/batteryPrius8663.pdf If you are saying you only get 2 kWh accessible, you have >1/3 degradation. How are you measuring this? Consider reaching out to @jacktheripper at [email protected] who is developing the Dr. Prius App in another active thread in this subforum.
i don't have a meter, so not sure about charge. i get about 11 miles on flat 30 mph roads with few stops. try measuring ev distance under those circumstances, with hvac off, and report back
Something's not right. When I traded in my 89k mile 2013 a month ago, it was getting 10-14 miles depending on weather and speed. I usually got 3.8 to a fraction over 4 kWh per mile. I can't remember how much it took to charge, but it was over three kW, I'm sure.
6 miles is not good, unless your car has extremely high mileage. My 2014 with about 40K, still gets 11-12 miles.
My 2012 with 102k and counting is getting 12.5 to 13 miles per charge in warmer weather now after doing the fuse recall.
Hmmm... my 2014 has 147K KM, and I normally get between 16-18km (10-11.25mi) on a charge. Usually closer to 16km. My ChargePoint Home reports that it usually pushes about 2.6KWh of energy on a charge, I have NEVER seen >3KWhs on a charge. Based on what others have said, the change energy sounds low, though the range seems about normal? I did buy the car used (@ 2 years / 39k KM), and from what the trip meters indicated (one had never been reset, and was something like 8% EV usage), the previous owner did not charge very often.
The car will usually get about 2.5 Kwh in most cases, from no ev available to full, this will usually get about 9-12 miles, driving slow 30 mph to 50 mph , no ac or heat will get you about 11 miles, at higher speed 62 mph you will get about 5-8 miles, in some cases where you are constantly going up hill you will get even less, make sure that you are testing the car in a flat road at about 30-50 mph.
