She has a 52-mile round-trip commute. A total non issue...with a full battery.
I had only driven the car once since the weekend (see my post about my first DC fast charge for free at EA). When I parked it Saturday, it had 81% SOC and I didn't plug it in due to expected snow and ice.
Wife didn't have work on Monday and drove the AWD RAV4 Tuesday and Wednesday. I drove it just to the local fast-food establishment on Monday night (less than 5 miles RT) and left it with just under 80% SOC. Still didn't plug in, again due to expected snow and freezing temps.
Wife DID drive it today, which surprised me. Last time I looked it had 72%, I think. It may have been less due to the programmed conditioning each work morning without it being plugged in.
I remotely checked on the car while she was parked at work and saw that it was at 36% with estimated 28 mile range. For her 26 mile drive home. I texted her and warned/reminded her not to take any side trips on the way home.
Turns out she's been freaking out on the way home. Stopped for fast food and then at the hair salon for appointments (her and the female child). Fortunately both right on the way home. She's there now with 8% SOC and 6 mile est. Luckily she's 2.5 miles from home. I told her she'll get home with 5% still, but she doesn't believe me.
I'll report back with the actual SOC at arrival.
