EV use inaccurate

[Voripteth]

If I'm in CD mode and go down a long hill in Low, will my EV range go up as displayed on the dashboard?

I still say the Energy Flow doesn't display correctly for Mountain Mode. It never indicates power from the ICE going into the battery.

+1 , i agree. ive noticed this too.
and this is one of the reasons i wont use MM anymore (unless im really going up a MT).

i hope we get that "Hold mode" software update for 2011 and 2012s
i would prefer this vs MM

I've heard from a couple of sources that the Plug in Prius (PiP) counts those gas generated "EV miles" as EV miles. So their EV miles will be 'exaggerated'.

Yep, john1701a reported "EV" miles going up during ICE operation and called it a good thing. I guess it is if you like cooking the books. Surprisingly ( ), not one person noted that all their EV efficiency numbers are now useless the second the engine starts up. A number of them delight in posting wh/mi figures but they are bogus if the engine has been run.

As an aside, I enjoy reading the PiP forum periodically for its Twilight Zone feel as many anti-Volt posters laud everything the PiP does worse than the Volt!
