So....I’ve rented a Prius in the past.ive owned an emily and I own a bmw i3. I’m familiar with electric cars. I bought this as our second car which is capable of going on road trips...I’ve also amended a normal A3 and a Vw Gti.loved both of them.
So far...I’m pretty disappointed in this car.
My commute is 8 miles. I fully charge my battery and it is dead by the time I get to work. I assume most of the problem comes from hot weather and a minor hill 9los Felix blvd from glendale to hollywood). If I take a flat routem]. And the weather is cold....I might have 10 miles left by the time I get to Beverly Hills. But at lunch time,,,,I might drive 3 miles and that 10 miles will disappear.
On the highway...I’m getting 25 mpg on my way to San Francisco. Granted I’m driving 80mph....but the Prius I had got 90mpg on a highway...my 2015 passat got 35 on a highway...why would this get such aweful mileage.
It get maybe 2 miles per kw hour in this car. That pretty horrible. My other electric cars got about 4.5 miles per kwhour. Why pay $2 to go 8 miles? Especially when that * miles disappears in 3 miles.
I’m going to keep checking the mileage on this trip..... but I had the dealer check the battery and they said all is normal.
Any advice?
Yes of course I’ve gotten 40mpg when I’m in the city, but that’s because I’m running all, electric on my way to work.
Literally half my day of driving is electric..... and I’m only getting 40mpg.
Are my numbers normal? Or is there something wrong with this car.....
I’ve owned it two months.
