Default Re: Finishing drive with depleted battery for better mpg's?
Yeah I always assumed on the next restart (which for me is usually the next morning) the ICE is going to be running for a few minutes anyway.

The last 1/4 mile to my house is a relatively steep incline (I can't top 22-23 mph without the ICE turning on), so whenever possible I try to EV up that hill. If I have 60% of more battery (on the nav screen display), I am usually just about depleted by the time I get to the top.
