Change in the Weather

Having already been through the full seasonal cycle... experiencing snow and the arrival of spring last year... I can provide a big "U Betcha!"

EV range increases with the warmth. It's a very nice change from winter.

That tank (which obviously could have been 921 miles) was my best from last year... and likely will be my longest ever. In the summer, I take lots of highway trips, some carrying bikes on back or kayaks on top. So, it's just not realistic of an expectation.

Running errands late in the evening using nothing but electricity is an entirely different matter, especially with the daylight lasting so long. It makes window-down driving a delight.

 

i'm seeing a small change. my 7 mile trip to work left me with 5.7 miles of range at the lowest this winter. last night, at 59 degrees, i had 7.3 miles left. still not enough to get me home without a little recharge. as i recall, there was a dramatic dip somewhere around 70 degrees last fall. that's when i was no longer able to make the round trip on one charge.

 

Yes!!!! Today was the first day I made it all the way to kids daycare (downhill and 7.6 miles)) without ICE coming on. Most days I could barely make it off the my street this winter and some days couldn't even do that. Current tank has 72 miles on it and I am averaging 104 MPG. I am so glad spring is here.

 

What is that song?...Sunshine on my prius makes me happy.

Sounds like that should be censored…

 

LOL!! Sunshine almost always gets my mileage high
