Brand new Prime. Range shows 22 miles after fully charged

WOW!! Mine seams to be going the other direction. I did see one or 2 times it as high as 30.5, not it has dropped back down to 28+ for the last 4+ days what do I need to do to follow your lead in getting it up?

 

ah.... nope, better not.

 

I bet you tried to insert the "V' word and Priuschat banned it

 

don't know that i could give you an educated advise since I don't know your driving style etc. I did post the profile of my commute, maybe that helps a little My EV range story ...

 

As of May 25, 2017 33.9. Traveled 26.3 miles with 3.7 miles left in EV

 

Did something like 27.3 and 26.5 the first 2 charges, both included mostly highway driving. Maybe a stupid question, but other that using the trip odometers or manual calculation, does the car log or show the miles driven on EV somewhere? Didn't see that on the menus and I have the Premium, so don't have the Entune app capability for that.

 

yes there is a log on the MFD in the dash, use the down arrow on the steering wheel, but it is all EV so incl the EV miles that you use in HV mode as well, and it depends on which trip meter setting you're looking at (Trip button on the left of the steering wheel).
The instrument cluster is worth a read in the manual, starting pg 180 ... I can't recall some of the steps how to get to certain display, too many options

I will not touch that one, I will not, no, no!! Somebody Stop me !!!! Aaahhhhhh!!, har, har!

Now I'm at 50Km + (31m)

 

And even early on, the number of miles you get will not be the same as what the system predicts.

I've had a Prime for three days. On full charge it still only shows 22.0 mile range (with AC on). I've driven it 6.8 miles today, and the system still thinks I have 17.7 miles left. (It says I used 4.3 miles of my predicted range, when I drove 6.8 miles in reality.)

I don't know if the math is linear like this, but (6.8/4.3) * 22 = 34.8 miles, which would seem to be what my range is if I can extrapolate from what I've done so far with the driving style I've had so far. Presumably, the Prime's computers will eventually catch up, or so I've been hearing.

 

I would give your car a full month. Let it get used to your overall driving routines. It will start to know how to adjust to temperature, road conditions, speed, etc. I don't have a prime, but the first month I had my car the mileage and battery reads were from one extreme to the other. First to weeks driving and I thought I would be living in 52 mpg heaven. Then the last 2 weeks brought me back down to reality. 42 to 48 mpg.

 

I think you are right.

 

Iv had my plus for 19 months now and my charge is now 37.5 miles, but it can go down on a small temperature change, yesterday I had 35.4. This is with temps of 95-100 F. All my consumption bars are at 150 mpg, that’s all that counts. Be patient, you’ll get there.

 

Yeah, no worries, since I've seen here that my "low ball" initial estimate is normal and will adjust over a few weeks of driving. After my charge yesterday, the range (with AC) showed up as 22.5 miles instead of 22.0 (25.2 with fan/AC off), so it's getting there.
