2013 Prius Plug-in Base for Sale in New York/Long Island

welcome!

great deal, all the best!

 

What sort of miles per charge do you get with the PiP? What level charge facility did you install at home and is it cost-effective with L:IPA kWh rates? Thanks.

 

What's the range in HV mode?

 

Right, as opposed to mpg I was wondering overall range in miles.

 

How much of that total would you estimate is cumulative EV mileage?

 

what do you mean by cumulative ev miles? if you only plug in once, it's 12.

 

Thanks.

 

Per tank fill...

 

you have a 10 gallon tank, so depending on how you drive, and when you like to fill up, you can easily go 500 miles until the last pip starts flashing at 8 gallons used. any more depends on how often you can plug in.
my current tank is at 1,100 miles, and i still have 6 pips left. but all my driving is local.

 

@Air_Boss, range both for HV and EV will vary hugely depending on the type of driving you do.

I commute to work 9.8 miles each way, four days a week. Normally, I have no trouble driving those miles in EV only since I can charge at work. I usually have a couple miles left, in fact. But now that it's getting into typical FL summer weather, the air conditioning takes a big enough toll that I often have to burn a little gas on the way home. But I also have lots of driving beyond my typical 12 mile battery range, most of it in heavy, 60 mph traffic with lots of stop lights. Overall, I have about 42% of my miles in EV. That gives me a raw mpg right now of almost 90. Right now, my HV mpg is averaging a little over 52, but there are lots of times the ICE just has to run long enough to warm up because I barely out drove my EV range or was forced by traffic to punch the accelerator.

With a full tank and a full battery, the displayed cruising range estimate is a little over 500 miles. My actual tank range is typically about 800 miles. I could go more if I wanted to push it, but would gain nothing except bragging rights. Since all but one of my local friends get less than half that many miles with bigger gas tanks, I think I already have sufficient bragging rights.

The biggest factors affecting range are almost the same as for the regular Prius. Temperature, speed, tire pressure, traffic conditions, number of short trips per tank. Except that, with the PiP or Prime, you don't have the short trip penalty as long as you can keep it charged up. @bisco, for example has lots of short trips and buys gas about every couple hundred years or so.

 

@Cheebs631, I don't think we asked you: what are you replacing it with?

 

That answers the nature of my earlier question. Thanks.
