How to extend LIMITED SERVICE LIFE of Prius PHV traction battery.

You set your timer so that it completes it's charge shortly before you drive off, it starts and stops charging all on it's own.
I have only 10,000 miles of all EV miles and about 6000 miles of HV. I do not notice any difference of lower capacity from when it was new. The computer regulates battery SOC you do not have to worry about it at all!
Hope this helps!

 

agreed, i don't recall seeing any complaints here regarding reduced capacity. except for everyone's first experience with winter!

 

Awesome! It's "winter" here and the car is reporting 16.4mi for a full charge. But I prefer blended drives due to a 90 mile RT commute (no office charging).

 

My actual estimated miles is still relatively high and about the same as last year at this time -- I'm at 12.9 miles.
However, I do notice that the actual number of kwh, as reported by the ChargePoint L2 charger has decreased. In the very first few months (summer) I would see 2.8 to 2.9, typically for a full charge...once 2.95. This past summer I would see only about 2.6 - 2.7 kwh for a full charge (this is driving EV only down to 0.1 or 0.0; not driving in HV and using another 2-3% or whatever amount it drops after that). The main thing is my measurement technique has been consistent.
