Waiting on my new Plug in Prius, in black. Any hints from anyone? I know just drive it but charging advice, AC temp advice anything? Going to be the first new car I purchase since a 92 Geo Metro so please realize I am tighter then two coats of paint when it comes to expenditures. Thank you all in advance. Have a great day
It’s a great car and very economical! Enjoy! I drive my SE mostly in “Normal” mode. Around town, spring, summer, fall I can get 80 to 90 km of EV range, but significantly less in winter. If I’m trying to squeeze out maximum EV range, I run without using the a/c or heat and use the heated seats and/or crack open the windows, if it’s too warm. The car will also start the gas engine if I go down a long hill with a full traction battery and especially in cooler conditions, so I shift into neutral and coast down to avoid this, since I live at the top of a hill. Also, the gas engine starts immediately if you press the front defrost button.
