Default Re: Maximum High Voltage Battery Status Reading

Thanks for the welcome, and the shared experiences.

I was wondering, because it seems like its hard to stay in EV Mode, and I thought if the battery had more juice, that might help. On the other hand, the best mileage I've achieved (39) has been on the warmest day, which was the first full day I had the car. It has been pretty cold here in Central MA. It takes quite a while to warm up and go into EV Mode, and by then I've pretty much made it to the highway on my daily commute. Even so, when I get off the highway, it doesn't get into EV Mode very easily, or stay there very long.

So, I suspect the cold has something to do with why I have been at around 36.4 ever since, but maybe that is all that I should expect.

Anyway, thanks again.
