    2014 Accord Plugin Mod - use new FIT 20kwh battery?

    Had you done with the VTC Software update yet ? Wait until you done that at the dealer , then you will see your 15 miles EV range is not correct anymore. You will get only around 8 miles before the engine kickin.

    21.4 EV miles w/L2 charger

    UPDATE !!!! I tested it out today at the highway speed at 60 mph and after that 21.4 EV miles came down to 0.0 mile, my real odometer only shows 14 miles had been driven. By the way, does your car show 1000 miles for HV after a full tank of gasoline had been refilled ?

    21.4 EV miles w/L2 charger

    It took 30 minutes to fully charge the battery and now it is showing 21.4 EV miles, I doubt on that result and will test it out tomorrow.

    30 min. to charge with L2, great EV miles result !!!!

    30 minutes is all it will take for L2 32 Amp Charger. Right after the charge completed, I turned on the car and check for the EV miles, it is showing.......21.4 miles for EV !!!!! I will count on the miles when I drive it to work to see if it will give more than 15 miles as Honda says.
