Re: Longest distance in EV mode?
Coming home from the theatre (Went to see Batman Begins) this week, heavy stop and go rush hour traffic, I managed to make nearly the entire drive in EV mode. (12 miles) During a particularly congested area of about 7 miles, at a stop I switched to L gear, and allows the coasting to slow me down and recharge the battery continuously rather than tap the brakes, and never got above 25 miles per hour when I was going. When traffic opened up, at the next light, I switched back to D, and continued on home.
Boy did my MPG shoot up.
The fasted I ever got to was 40 miles per hour in EV mode, through rather conservative acceleration with a rather charged battery.
