EV Miles estimate after Full Charge LOW

i've heard michigonians were tough cookies. if you mean cruise control with ev mode, it's the same as without it. if you hit a steep enough hill so the hsi hits the power band, it will come on.

 

bisco,

sorry, I din't mean when you have cruise control on, I meant your travels in EV

 

no, not when i stay within my ev range. doesn't matter whether you use a/c or not, it's electric and just eats up a bit of your battery range.

 

good to know. I guess I've been sweating necessarily.

 

I was only speaking of being in Acc mode, not ready, not charging. 12 Volt only.

 

Don't do that, the High Voltage battery needs air in the same comfort zone as humans. If on a long hot desert drive, the HV CAN FAIL. One must abuse it, but it has happened to Gen I, II, and III .

 

Andyprius,

lol, I'm not on a long hot desert drive, I'm only 2.7 miles from work, so it's about 15 minutes travel time.

 

ok, I understand. But it would be nice if we could play the radio during the 2.5 hours of charging while waiting in the car because a VOLT is occupying the 240 volt terminal and only the 120 volt is available.

 

Oh, that is totally diffrent, in that case just sweat it out then.

 

gee. thanks, Andyprius. anyway, 15 minutes is not enough time for the A/C to cool the inside of the PIP.

 

That I don't know Bisco, but the well for the 12v appears roughly the same physical size. So I presume electrically it is the same. That's only a guess tho.

 

Oh, I don't know, in Nome, Alaska it should work fine! Now don't tell me you don't live in Nome!

 

Sorry, I don't. it was 102 yesterday where I live tho.

 

102!!!??? now that's sweatin' to the oldies!

 

lol, nice reference to my age

 

well, i'm 57, so that's all i know.

 

beat you by 3 yrs (big 60)

 

congrats! you're just getting started.

 

60, the new 30

 

exactly, and we're driving plug in cars! who wooda thunk?
