Platinum15Ti Posted September 23, 2016 at 10:01 PM Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 at 10:01 PM Though it totally defeats the reason most buy an Energi, I got curious about what it would run in the 1/4 mile. I was at the track yesterday and figured... Why not run it? It's by far the slowest car I've ever driven at the track, but it was just for fun. I made 5 passes and it's consistent... Consistently slow.. it ran (3) 16.2 @ 86 mph passes and (2) 16.5 @ 86 mph passes. If it could leave at anything more than idle it would be quicker, but not quick by any means. After driving it harder than normal, I was still averaging 290 mpg when I got home.. https://youtu.be/8B-MEhl2ujw howardbc and bwheetley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woeo Posted October 14, 2016 at 06:36 AM Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 at 06:36 AM This was in EVnow mode? or Battery and engine? Platinum15Ti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Fusion Posted November 1, 2016 at 02:45 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 at 02:45 PM I always wondered what would happen if you whip and electrocute the squirrels at the same time. I would have guessed a couple seconds slower than that. My next car will be a wide body Super Snake which will do it in about 10.5 or so.

Platinum15Ti Posted November 8, 2016 at 12:04 PM Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 at 12:04 PM It was in EVAuto. Will EVnow stay in electric if you push the pedal to the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russael Posted November 8, 2016 at 02:10 PM Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 at 02:10 PM Yes it will... it'll pop up a message asking you to press OK to enable the engine once you floor it, but if you don't do that, it'll stay in EV drive only.
