Default High Battery Charge levels

I've seen many posts on here about how hard it is to get full bars. If I'm trying, I can hit full bars several times on my commute to and from work. I do live in some hilly areas but my charge levels are way higher than my camry hybrid. I can get to full bars getting off a freeway or do some hard street driving. I live in So. Cal., and I leave my climate change around 71-73 F and almost always use the heat warmer ( I have a bad back).

My car bought my car when it had 11k back in Nov 2016 its not March and I'm at 19k. Battery behavior has been pretty consistent.

That's impressive if you can hit full bars constantly! I can only do that if I'm close to the peak and then I go down a long hill.

The car does amazing on the highway. I love running it fast - when you're going 70 mph, it hardly breaks a sweat.

I would love to see pictures of your ride Calsenator, since I believe you purchased your 2013 GSh fairly recently.

Right now i am Driving a 2013 camry hybrid and i noticed very very rarely i can get a full battery power. I can get all of them except one if i am doing alot of braking and not alot of coasting. Only when i go down a really long steep hill can i get a full battery. Im fine with it because id like to hope that its using the battery for proportion. Besides as long as it is not at 2 bars im ok with that because when it charges the battery it sounds unrefined and shakes the car.
