    Actual EV range is the distance you actually drive in EV from a full charge until it kicks out of EV into HV mode. What do you mean by shame shame? And can you post a pic of your reboot switch, I've never seen one.

    I still don't understand the point of a reboot switch. A bunch of counters get reset. So?:confused:

    I am not trying to be sarcastic or critical or anything. I really just don't understand why one would install a switch just to reset the parameters that are stored in volatile memory.

    I have no reboot switch. My EV estimate has gone from 13 to 13.9 in the last 2-3 weeks. My actual driving range went up by 1-1.5 miles.

    Tell me again why this switch matters.

    Agree with your first statement, purpose of installing a reboot switch is twofold. 1. When you reboot it kicks the estimated range up, as I explained in Post 1 . 2 by installing the switch, you no longer have to physically remove the neg or pos lead when you do have start problems and have to reboot.

    the start problems are another good reason for the switch.

    OK I get it, you want the estimated range to reset and look good regardless of how much range you actually get. Do I have that right or are you actually saying resetting is increasing your ACTUAL EV driving range?

    It's not "normal" to disconnect your battery on a regular basis I'm not sure what kind of problems you're having, I haven't had any problems yet. Cheers.

    I haven't measured my total EV range lately, but when I did it always exceeded the estimated range. As for normal it only has to be disconnected for a few seconds. This time however it may have been off the two hours I was in the Gym, I'm not sure. But if you are not going to use the car it does not matter how long the 12V is disconnected. You lose a few presets that's all. If you will read, READ the first post, you will notice I had, have NO problems. Incidently, your last sentence is incomprehensible.
