acdii Report post Posted September 27, 2013 It's another cool foggy morning, so this time I left the house with Max Defrost on and drove with it on for quite a while. ICE never shut off with it on, even with blower at low speed. However, not complaining because the battery was fully charged and the instant was hovering around 44 MPG. Now this leads me to thinking, what if the car could be switched to not use EV over 45 MPH, but not change anything else, just the threshold. If I am seeing a true 44+ MPG on ICE with a full charge, heat and AC on for defrost @ 60 MPH, why need EV at that speed? IOW this morning the car was acting just like the old 2010 FFH did. Has me wondering. BTW past week has been a consistent 45 MPG with temps around 45-55*, which is 2 MPG lower then when it is at 70*. So about a 1 MPG for every 10* drop so far. I'll take it. :) 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
