It's probably more due to the fact that EV initially ran before ICE kicked in thus warming up the battery due to the aforementioned current draw :D
just remember the faster you go the more current is drawn from the battery:D The way I figure......when there is current draw from the battery,...
I agree, it's not regen/braking. In my case I found by driving down the side streets at no more than 25 MPH ICE doesn't come on. I drove down...

I keep mine at the lowest setting possible with fan off.
I remember you telling me you charge, then go, so your battery is warmed up, mine's not.
This could be the reason in my case because I charge my car up at night, then drive my car in the morning to work.
nope are you driving on a flat surface? or is your terrain hilly? Mine's mostly flat
This happened to me when I first got the PIP and drove it in the fall weather 45 degrees outside, ICE kicks in when normally at 50 degrees or...
yup, same here 45 degrees or below the ICE will kick in, it's because the amperage required to accelerate in warm weather 50 degrees or above is...
yup, your AC was on.:(
good point:D
that leaves me out because I charge when I have 5 or so miles left EV:cry:
lol, can you imagine the memory problems the Prius or PIP would have with Ni-Cad's?
It's Nickel-Metal_Hydryde, the original Prius (sorry, spellcheck couldn't help me with "Hydryde")
BTW: my commute to work is 2.7 miles one way.
Even though I'm paying more than I actually use it's still half of what I was paying when I drove my 2010 Prius to work. And, Yes, sometimes I do...
Oh, yeah, I forgot this: my apartment electricity is commercial, the highest tier no TOU rates.
