Better hybrid performance in really hot weather-

[Deerjack]

Just curious, how often do YOU deal with temperature over 110 degrees???

I started driving my hybrid maverick in June 2023-

We had 55 days over 110 degrees. I pretty much gave up on getting any electric sailing...

This summer, we set a record with 60 days over 110.

I discovered that running the ac on max coldest setting fan full blast with vents barely cracked helps electric driving on accident. Wife complaining about burning up in the back seat...

I'm not an engineer, just sharing my personal experience...

Maybe that cold air is reaching a sensor for the battery as apposed to actually cooling it down.

Swamp coolers are awesome; except for this year (needing repairs that it was too hot to make), they've been our primary cooling for most of summer (not monsoon season, which is usually 2-3 weeks, and we usually have to switchover at about 110 or so [but one day, a couple of years ago, it was dry enough that it held it to 82 inside at 117!]

And you just don't do non-emergency car repairs and maintenance during double-summer (while most folks have summer, as opposed to the summers while they have spring and fall]

now *that* is a disturbing thought!

Hmmm - where does that air burp flap behind seat lead to - HVB battery area?

I don't have a clue how, or why-

All I know, is it works for me...
