With very careful slow driving I've been getting close to 80mpg. As the weather gets warmer I'm able to go farther in EV mode. I am planning to use a 60W solar panel to help charge the PHEV kit.
The rated amount of my solar roof panels is 264w but the real charge peak is 191.5Wp ( shown on w-u meter)
The new record of my solar charge is 4.2975kwh (from June 5 to 11). So I could still use enginer kit last weekend during my charger repair peroid. The sun is strong enough in Taiwan but It's rare more than 1 week in summer without partly cloudy sky. I think it's hard to break this record.
Thanks
