When to a buddy's house in the mountains this last weekend. Coming down the mountain I got some good milage. Obviously the readings were opposite on my way up there. Also it was lightly snowing and cold (30 degrees) so I didn't want to go to fast down this canyon road. I did charge the hell out of the battery.

The engine ran for the first 3 minutes then stayed off until 17 minutes and restarted because there was no heat left. Is was spinning at 1000RPM just to heat back up. If any propulsion was needed it only came from the battery.




Half way down

Had to accelerate onto the highway then cost all the way down into town.


At the bottom of the hill

 

Dang 1fuzzybk! That's one rare sight right there - I think that I may have charged the battery to full capacity (8/8 bars) only ONCE since I've owned it. Texas is generally very flat, so I usually only get to 7/8 bars full.

3 minutes of the engine running in 20 minutes of driving is crazy. Maxes out that MPG meter! That must have been a fun decent, although I'm sure you were cautious due to the icy conditions.

Hope it provided enough power up the mountains as well! Ty for sharing the photos.

I can't never get the battery to be full charged.....
