Our 2024 Prius Prime gave us 80+Km in EV in March, when it was still cold here. Now, with summer temperatures we have seen 91Km on battery, with 6% SOV left. Yesterday, the trip computer indicated a range of 96Km in EV Mode at day break. After the Traction Battery dies, we see 62+mpg. All this while matching traffic speeds.
Don't wait for the battery to "die". Switch to HV on the highway. per the owner's manual. My 2017 reads 81 MPG or 130 KPG lifetime. Enjoy!!
PHEVs are the cars for everyone today and for everyone in the future. Replace the 12 volt battery after about 5 years; I did that and my MPG went from 65 to 80.
@@hobartspitz1029 I'm not sure about the 2017 but our 24 Prime will not start the engine even in hybrid mode, unless;
A) the defroster or AC is turned on (not defrost or heat via the heat pump though).
B) you use the engine braking function on a steep decline at higher speeds..
Even at highway speed the car remains in EV only until the Traction battery is exhausted. The Traction battery never really "dies". It has a 10% buffer at its low end and high end so, you can only access 80% of the charge. This is to protect the cells from premature failure.
As for the Service (12v), battery, compared to an ICE only car, it has an easy life. It does not start the car. Rather, it sends a small charge to a relay and that relay causes the generator to start the engine. The Prius does not have a starting motor. That's why the 12v battery is so small in these cars, that and the fact a smaller battery saves a lot of weight. I can't imagine why replacing that battery could increase milage.
But, I do know, replacing it after five years is a good idea. This because boosting your 2017 with cables is very difficult if the battery gets weak. You can't open the rear hatch if the 12v is flat, there's no keyed lock. So, you have to use the emergency key to open the drivers door (the only keyed lock on the car). Then reach in to open a rear door. Next lower both rear seat-backs and crawl into the hatch. At this point, you must somehow raise the hatch deck while you are laying on top of it to access the battery. There is no inside hatch release. And, you need two sets of booster cables as one set isn't long enough. It's quite challenging. The fifth Gen at least has the battery above the floor cover making it somewhat easier.
@@TomLawlor-iq6gm It sounds like they made a lot of changes betwee 2017 and 2024 or you need to read your owner's manual.
The reasons replacing the battery improves the MPG is simple. The car was wasting electricity and gas trying to charge a battery that was not taking the charge.
As far as "dying", my battery only goes down to 30% before HV mode is activated. That why I added quotation marks.
I really think you should have paid more attention to what I wrote, should have read your owner's manual, and waited until you have more understanding of your car before replying. Much of what you wrote doesn't make any sense.
Please take note that the 2023 to 2025 Outlander PHEV do not have a Batterry Heater in the Battery Pack. Not recommended for areas where Temperatures reachs temps lower than -15'C
I got a Prius Prime parked in my garage with a battery full charge range between 48 and 51 miles (all depends on road conditions). Be aware that the aquile's heel is the tire. That specific size is hard to find (at least where I live), and the tire injection kit that Toyota offers doesn't work every time.
Interesting spelling of Achilles' Heel 😆
@@RideNGrind Thank you for that one! Not a native speaker but I got the point across (I think?).
@@frank4540Achilles is Greek though. Named after Achilles. Its name is universal in languages? 😂
The best single charge range we have gotten with our 24 Prime was 91km (56.87 miles). But, there was still 6% charge remaining. The car would have reached or exceeded 100km (62.5 miles), that day. After 12,300km (7,687.5 miles), we have consumed just 3.5 tanks of gas.
I am surprised not to see the Ford Escape/Kuga on your list !… 🙁 on my opinion, should be on third position.
Gle 350 de 110 km of range. That is the best PHEV, and it has a 60kw Fast charge ccs also plus the normal 7.2 type 2 plug... Do your Research better, my friend!
Omg! I love hearing this version of this ChatGPT’s voice as it sounds so natural and human! I typically dislike videos that use AI voices but not this one as I talk to it from time to time. Haha. Anyways, thanks for the info!
this is joke video ! report ! mercedes EQC range is like close to 100miles as plugin hybrid... and its not even on the list lol ??? it has like triple size batteries compared its 34kwh battery pack.. why not on list lol ?
for u 40000 and 60000 is affordable no for me
Only gives range in prehistoric units
Electric range on a PHEV is irrelevant!
EV mode is for local trips and getting to the highway. Once on the highway, switch manually to hybrid mode, where gas is more efficient, per the owner's manual. Avoid draining the battery to the point of forcing HV mode.
The only relevant range is the combined range. My PHEV gets 81 MPG. At 10.6 gals. that's 828 miles of overall range, more than any BEV!
I look forward to the day when PHEVs automatically switch to HV mode at 45 MPH and back to EV mode at 20 MPH.
People who don't understand a topic should not be making videos on it.
PHEVs are the perfect combination of economy, practicality, convenience and future-proofing for everybody. The guys and girls a Toyota knew this a long time ago, and that's why they made one of the first PHEVs. PHEVs pay for themselves by buying less gas and creating less global warming.
Where is honda ?
33miles is a joke range start of 100 miles then talk lol 33miles was a decade ago..
What plug in hybrid gets 100 miles of range? None.
