2024 Honda Prologue in New York, NY
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for New York's weather, grid and prices.
New York's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (34°F) a Prologue gets an estimated 233 miles, 15% under its 273-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 18, when it averages 33°F). By April it's back to about 266. Charging at home at New York's average rate (29.9¢/kWh) costs about $133 a month for 38 miles a day, against $289 for an average standard SUV on New York City's gas.

Questions New York drivers ask
How far can a Prologue go in a New York winter?
About 233 miles on a typical January day (34°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 18, 33°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 15% below its 273-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.
How much does it cost to charge a Prologue in New York?
About $133 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at New York's average home electricity rate of 29.9¢/kWh: about 11.5¢ a mile. An average standard SUV on New York City's average gas ($4.25 a gallon) costs about $289 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Prologue on a regular 120 V outlet in New York?
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 36 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 New York's grid?
Yes. New York's grid (NPCC NYC/Westchester) is 13% dirtier than the US average, but a Prologue charged on it still makes 71% less CO₂ than an average standard SUV.
