Default Re: Over 15 miles in EV mode?

If the Nissan system is HSD (like the current (3rd) gen Prius), then a fully charged battery is a no-no...unless you like a shorter battery life. Also a fully depleted battery is bad...that's where the computer(s) come in to save our butts and NOT do the full charge/discharge. It keeps the charge between 40-80% in the Prius HSD. I suspect the Nissan is the similar. Finally a smart car that knows better than us humans!
