Charge Range

Hello all,

I picked up my car Saturday and I've been charging daily for my commutes to work and home. Its Prius Prime XSE with advertised EV range at 39 miles. With the heat off, I've been getting around 33-35 miles on a range with grandma like driving. Because the car is so new, will I see the EV range go up as the car continues to break in?

 

Appreicate the feedback. Yes, this is my first Plug in. I've had Hybrids before, which I know the cars computer can be generous with the MPG displayed. Why I always used Fuelly. Always got a watchful of the tire pressure as it usually drops below freezing where I live and tire pressure warning lights are a frequent thing for most people.

 

the guess o-meter.

 

My normal work commute is backroads, I always avoid the highway as much as possible. People like like maniacs' on the highway where I live. My work commute is 29 miles one way. I charge at home and at work. I've only used the gas engine once since I brought the car home Saturday. Which was just me going for a joy ride around town, lol. But I've noticed over my week of driving back and forth to work, with temps fluctuating between 20 to 50 degrees F. That my predicted EV range has been between 33-35, last night it predicted 37 miles. When engaging the hvac, I've noticed that it will subtract about 3-4 miles from my predicted range. But I rarely use the hvac because the heated seats and steering wheel is more than capable to keep me warm. Guess time will tell, I've seen a couple people post on Facebook group that their ev range has gone up after a month of ownership. My guess is the car estimates your ev range based on driving pattern? either way, I'm supper happy with the car. I appreciate all your feed back!
