Petrol consumption in EV mode
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2018 12:59 pm
My Niro (PHEV) seems to be using a lot of petrol when it's in EV mode. First noticed this at the beginning of last month when a four mile trip saw the petrol gauge go down by 8 miles while the EV gauge was also reducing but at a slower rate. I always have the car in EV mode, letting it switch itself to HEV once EV gets down to 0, A/C is off, heated seats and heated steering wheel are also off. It doesn't seem to be related to outside air temperature: a 21 mile trip at 9/10deg C saw EV go down from 30 to 9 (21 miles) and petrol from 309 to 296 (13 miles) while a 17 mile trip at 2degC saw EV go down from 24 to 7 (17 miles) and petrol from 334 to 329 (5 miles).
Has anyone else noticed anything similar?
