Did my most EV range city driving today

Yes Indeed , the Prime shines in city driving in EV, for my usage 75% of my driving is done in EV . So after 23K km of usage 17K were done in EV the rest was in HV on highways on long rides

 

Your 2017 is healty , your numbers are very close to mine , a 2022 model. We live in the same climate so in the long run your numbers are quite the the same as mine , maybe a few tenth of liter lower on my side , the car reports 1.6L/100 Km but again it does not mean a better performance since a lot of variables will change the results ....

 

European cities are nowhere near your cities. There is no way I can legally go at 85 in the city. The maximum is 70 but that is on a triple carriageway, and not all of them. Otherwise it's 50 most of the time or even 30.

Hence my range is around 70 Km on a charge.

 

My new record:

 

It's not fast. Our urban speed limit is 50 km/h, sometimes 30. Plus a lot of traffic lights.

I use EV only for urban environment, otherwise I will go in HV and save EV for later.

BTW:


My average is 85W/km.

 

One or two Km?
On Monday I took my wife to have her eyes checked. This is the route I took. Started with a full charge, got home with 38% left.
Only 2 km of that route has 70, most was 50 with some 30.

This is the route to see my Mother, sometimes I do that route 4 times in a day as I take her home to have lunch and take her back. All in one charge with spare to go.

 

BTW, when you are doing 70, is it 70 on the GPS? I am at 66...

 

Yes, I am aware of the EU regulations, but not about Canada.
When visiting the USA, I was amazed how precice speedos were.

 

Update: the 80 km/h estimate is the maximum it will display.
I noticed that because it never went higher BUT I discovered that last week I managed to drive 1.6 km before it went down to 79.9 km.

 

@The Tramp I've noticed a few of the Gen4 Prime / PHV gauge range limits too. I've also had the 2014 PiP Gen3 plugin for a couple of years which had some different gauge limits than my Prime Plus has and I think I understand what the limit you posted above means in conversion terms, but it's not a walk in the park converting some of the Prius gauges to metric / standard-us / Imperial ( if that scale is used in the UK car gauiges ). It can get mind bending for anyone that doesn't do conversions all day, so I"ll do my best to stay away from conversions of Prius gauges, mostly to keep from making a fool of myself. The difference in the Prius gauge cluster when switching from metric to standard-US is the most obvious ( the closer to real-time display ) the gauge is. And you can believe when you see it ,,, when the same gauge in metric is the opposite of the gauge display in standard-us.
Typically, in my experience with most cars I've driven, I've noticed about what others have noticed and posted here at priuschat. Around a 2mph lower gauge reading than real speed. Some members even attribute the gauge issue with a Toyota plot to show more mpg / km/L than the car actually gets. cest la vie.

On another thought, I read the Tolkien Silmarillion in the early 80's and for some reason Turin Turambat stuck in memory more than anything else in the trilogy - hobit or the silmarillion in the early 80's and even now. When I leaned about the city Turin Italy, years after reading the name in the book, I often wondered what the people whom live there thought about the reference to Turin Turambar.
I just learned today that Turin Turambar was a person in the book and not a place in the story.
Túrin Turambar - Wikipedia
It wasn't an easy read, for me anyway.

 

Well I get between 58 and 60kms range on City EV mode @50 - 60kph but it is a almost flat (except for one over bridge) 12kms to work and back with my 2019 Prime.

Did first long trip since I got it. Canterbury plains is pretty flat with no regen opportunities really. First 250km stage with the battery fully charged gave 2.9l/100km at 105kph set on the cruise control. Coming back with a depleted battery gave 4.3 l/100km at the same 105kph set on the cruise control with a bit of a headwind the last 50kms. I am pretty happy with that.
