Dodger Stadium

Had playoff tickets to see Cards at Dodger Stadium in the NLCS Tues night and Wed afternoon.
Distance to the stadium = 60.5 miles (roundtrip 121 miles)

I said what the heck - let's try taking the Rav4 EV :twisted: . So I did an extended charge prior to each trip.
I accomplished both trips easily with about 15 miles remaining on my range both times.

It seems sitting in traffic helps the range quite a bit. True?
It seems the Extended Charge doesn't really add much over the standard charge. True?

I almost didn't take the Rav4 the second trip because I thought it might be bad luck for the Dodgers - fortunately they overcame the mojo and dominated the Cards with 4 home runs on Wednesday. :lol:

Yes, driving in traffic lowers your average speed, so you should get better efficiency. That is, as long as you don't jackrabbit with the other cars and just use B mode to drive with one pedal.
The extended charge adds about 7 kWh, which is usually 20-25 miles extra.
