2024 Honda Prologue in Atlanta, GA
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Atlanta's weather, grid and prices.
Winter barely touches range in Atlanta: at a typical January's 44°F, a Prologue gets an estimated 257 miles on a charge, within 6% of its 273-mile rating. Charging at home at Georgia's average rate (16.3¢/kWh) costs about $71 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $263 an average standard SUV costs on the Lower Atlantic's gas.

Questions Atlanta drivers ask
How far can a Prologue go in a Atlanta winter?
Atlanta's winters are mild: about 257 miles on a typical January day (44°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 9, 43°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's within 6% of its 273-mile rating.

About $71 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Georgia's average home electricity rate of 16.3¢/kWh: about 6.1¢ a mile. An average standard SUV on the Lower Atlantic's average gas ($3.86 a gallon) costs about $263 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Prologue on a regular 120 V outlet in Atlanta?
At 38 miles a day, yes, all year: a 120 V outlet adds about 40 miles in 12 hours even in Atlanta's coldest week, and about 42 on an average day.
Is it greener to drive electric on Atlanta's grid?
Yes. Atlanta's grid (SERC South) is 10% dirtier than the US average, but a Prologue charged on it still makes 73% less CO₂ than an average standard SUV.
