It can be done with the right disciplines behind the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnOhio Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Just learn to brake slowly and regen use the ICE to get up to speed and let off the gas. Then lightly reapply the pedal and cruise in EV. Going down hills take your foot off the gas and let it go into EV and do the same. I'm still learning but this is what I did to get the big number.
