It makes sense to me that the small drive pack in the PHEV would limit rate of charging power compared to actual EVs. This is NOT an EV set up with a large drive pack and the capability for FAST DC charging, or for that matter fast charging from a wall charger at home.

Interesting you say this - one rather novel feature/characteristic I've discovered with the PHEV is how often it defaults going into EV mode.

Unless I'm planting the throttle for a brisk getaway, PHEV seems to like being in EV mode quite a lot.

Oh definitely, for daily commuting the vehicle will use the battery drive as much as it has charge to do so. Unless an owner has a very long commute both ways, I imagine many drivers are driving mostly in EV mode.

My guess is the drive battery is about 20% of the size of a normal EV. Then again, a normal EV should provide 250+ miles on a drive battery charge.... then pull over to the side of the road. Whereas your PHEV may only go about 50 miles before reverting to hybrid mode.

Does it also recharge the drive battery as you travel in hybrid mode, and then revert back to EV drive? If so, any idea how many miles on hybrid before the drive battery is charged back up to a useful level?

Yes it does recharge the battery, just like the regular Hybrid - but then chops/changes between EV/Engine as the regular Hybrid does - but the meter never moves off "Zero" until its plugged in to charge.

Spring/Summer will be the real litmus test - I am definitely hoping to see 45-50 miles on the EV battery!

Further indication I think that Honda has a limit set on Kwh into the drive battery. Probably for preserving life expectancy of the drive battery.

This will probably change (for the better) with the next generation, as they will more directly leverage off of their coming EV tech for the PHEV drive batteries.

Yep.

The good thing with PHEV, over the last few weeks, I've figured out how to configure/swap the drive modes - not just to see how ICE / EV / Hybrid drive modes work, but also the cooler whether we had a few weeks ago makes the engine kick in to prevent loads on the battery/depletion.

Its quite a clever system and am glad I went the PHEV route vs the traditional Hybrid one.

Hi, I have plugged in my Honda CR-V 2023 PHEV to 220 home socket but it is not charging. There is no earth (grounding )at my home. Can it be as a cause of this problem? Thanks.

Its possible - depends on your local electrical grid/systems etc.

Have you tried plugging in elsewhere perhaps?

I do believe that could be a reason. I have read post from other car brands that were unable to charge in ungrounded outlets.

Try to plug it in somewhere else to make sure the charger isn't faulty.

Right, that would make sense. It has been below zero the last week or so at night.

I've managed to charge up to 42 myself, but it went back to 40 almost immediately. I also got 41 once, but went to 39 within a minute.

I guess 50 would have to be a scorching summers day then, lol.

You're not charging to a specific range - the battery doesn't hold different amounts of energy resulting in different ranges. The range you get out of a full charge will vary based on conditions.

Yes, you will get better mileage out of it in the summertime.

Hi, gentleman's. I will be happy if someone can explain me how can I charge fully (50 miles) my Honda CR-V PHEV 2023. I live in Azerbaijan. I am charging my car in my own yard with outside temperature 7-10 degrees Celsius but maximum 30-36 miles only. Since I bought this car I have never got 50 miles charge. It is almost 4 months like this. Thanks.

Apparently the battery charge varies (or should I say the range varies) depending on the outside temperature.

Here in Scotland I am getting between 27 and 42 range. As it warms(!) up in springtime I expect to see a marked increase in range.

Apparently it's "just one of those things" that rechargeable batteries do.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a discrepancy between the left hand side gauge showing how far the battery has been charged, and the right hand mileage display?

I have, on 2 occasions now, noticed the charging gauge on the lhs showing an almost full charge, whilst the range display on the rhs showing a vastly different figure.

The attached picture was taken last week showing an almost full charge, whereas the mileage display shows a 27 mile range.

I just charged the car today and the lhs shows full charge and the rhs shows 32 miles. The charger switched off automatically today showing battery completely charged. When I tried to use the charge function whilst driving, it told me I couldn't as the battery was fully charged, yet was only showing a 32 mile range.

I couldn't see any note in the manual as to what the max range of the battery is. Anyone know?

Hi. You can see it in the technical specification. Before I bought the car I have got it from the official dealer. It is 51 miles or 82 km EV range. Thanks.

100%
It will show fault led light

I am sorry to dissapoint , but as all automakers say, you will never get there gas mileage/battery mileage that they are saying.
I get around 65 km in summer and 50-55km in winter wich i am more than satisfied.

 

[victor.turcan]

Yeah, my home charger is 11kW, but the CR-V maxes out at 3.3kW. Any other electric car i plug in maxes out around 11.2kW on that charger.. Not expecting more than the 7.2kW as that is the spec of the onboard charger.

Hi,

I have the same specced car .
I get 3.8kw on standart 220V socked and arount 6-6.5 kw on Honda 7.4 wall charger
It does not matter your wall charger power, because the car will not accept more than 7 kw/h even if you have 11 or 22kw on 3 phase.
It showed on my smart meter around 14-8 to 15.1 kw being charged to the car, wich means there are around 3kw from battery reserved for hybrid use .The charging time is about 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Some issues might be in communication between charger and car
Temperature sensor that does not allow higher charging rate
You have and issue with electric cables/ earthing
Did you try public ac charges ?!

Hope that helps
