2024 Honda Prologue in Allentown, PA
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Allentown's weather, grid and prices.
Allentown's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (30°F) a Prologue gets an estimated 222 miles, 19% under its 273-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 20, when it averages 30°F).

Questions Allentown drivers ask
How far can a Prologue go in a Allentown winter?
About 222 miles on a typical January day (30°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 20, 30°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 19% below its 273-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Allentown averages 46 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Prologue in Allentown?
About $98 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Pennsylvania's average home electricity rate of 21.7¢/kWh: about 8.5¢ a mile. An average standard SUV on the Central Atlantic's average gas ($4.31 a gallon) costs about $293 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Prologue on a regular 120 V outlet in Allentown?
At 38 miles a day, most of the year: a 120 V outlet adds about 41 miles in 12 hours on an average day, but about 34 in the coldest week, so it can fall a little behind then. A 240 V outlet fills it from 10% in about 9 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Allentown's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Allentown's grid (RFC East) is 22% cleaner than the US average, so a Prologue charged on it makes 80% less CO₂ than an average standard SUV.
