Questions Toledo drivers ask
How far can a Prologue go in a Toledo winter?
About 213 miles on a typical January day (27°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 19, 26°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 22% below its 273-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Toledo averages 73 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Prologue in Toledo?
About $90 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Ohio's average home electricity rate of 19.4¢/kWh: about 7.7¢ a mile. An average standard SUV on Ohio's average gas ($4.05 a gallon) costs about $275 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Prologue on a regular 120 V outlet in Toledo?
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 33 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 Toledo's grid?
Yes. Toledo's grid (RFC West) is 19% dirtier than the US average, but a Prologue charged on it still makes 69% less CO₂ than an average standard SUV.
