Everyone poo poos on the prius. I love my car. Wish I had a bit more range, but it gets amazing gas mileage for my usage. The volt does not have...
Strange I easily get SOC up to 86% with no issues. I do not shut off the A/C until I hit the final red light at the bottom of the hill. No ICE....
Could be.. but it could also piss off quite a few ppl IMO.
Try testing. I did try turning the fan on low with ac on and it didn't stop the ICE from turning on. I had to have the fan on high. Hope other ppl...

Correct -- I've also posted on another entry that you can fire the AC and fan full blast to stave off some of the electric and the car will allow...
Yes from what I've read pulling too much power from the battery at once can cause degradation. How does the Volt handle accelerating hard to get...
