ICE in EV Mode ... Again

As long as none of your body parts fell off from the cold.

 

or, put your tongue on the steering wheel

 

was 23 degrees here when I went out to Sam's Club (too bad it's closed! Grocery store where I work is open tho.) 8.7 miles EV (no ICE cubes) And AC off ( for those pussy's that need the low setting of the fan, get over it, mine's off, don't need it, got nice, cozy Eddie Bauer winter coat)

 

i get frostbite just thinking about it. there come's a point tho, where it doesn't feel any colder. death?

 

Thanks for all the comments, I'm ok! but I lost something!

 

just went for a test ride on my usual commute. 45 in the garage and 36 outside. batteries had finished charging about 1 1/2 hours before. instead of babying it, i goosed it out of my road onto the road where the ice comes on, hoping to burn a few extra watts before hitting the downslope. when i got to the top of the slope at 35 mph, i let up and began to glide, then regen as speed began to pick up. i didn't want to hit 40, but was worried about regen at the same time. amazingly, the ice stayed off and i completed 10 miles all ev.

 

lol the worries of a pip driver

 

i won't give up until i gain complete control over this thinking machine!

 

I love the concept of goosing it to prevent wasted fuel. Talk about counterintuitive.

 

Neva Happen!

 

i know.

 

i know, i goosed it the whole way since i didn't have anywhere to go, and all said and done, it didn't use more than a few tenth's more than usual.

 

tried the same thing tonite and it worked again. outside temp, 32 degrees. colder coming tomorrow!

 

27 deg F this morning. Coolant temp was 60 deg F leaving from the garage. Both heated seats were on and did a pure EV trip.

EV range estimated was 12.1 miles.

 

21 degrees here, finished what I couldn't accomplish yesterday (Sam's Club) had to scrape frost on both the inside and outside of front windshield ( car wash yesterday, probably contributed to inside frost) Ev range estimated for me was also 12.1 Also pure EV, no heated seats ( I'm tough)

 

Nice. So, "not charging it to full" is working great for you?

 

nope, still charging it to full, The area where I live is flat so I don't have a great problem with regen. never have

 

have you ever had the ice come on for no explainable reason?

 

nope
