At this days in California cost me $37 full tank I can go back and forward from San Francisco and still I have some 1/4 .. this ct200h is amazing.. I love it..
EV mode is indicated with the green symbol on the dash, it is activated automatically (unless i pressed the EV mode a year ago randomly) as long as there is enough charge on the battery, generally up to 28ish mph and not being too harsh on the accelerator will result in the usage of EV mode (going above the ECO label on the left hand side of the dash will disable the EV mode). Generally lasts up to a mile if not less in general driving conditions. Always useful to have. I generally use normal driving mode 90% of the time and switch over to sport on busy roundabouts or when I feel the need for quicker throttle response
I've had the 2012 model for 2 years now. It's pretty great. The ev button is almost completely worthless. It will turn on ev mode automatically when you are driving under 40mph and you have the tacheometer in the eco area and you have enough battery to support this. If you play your cards right and avoid interstate you can juice 46 mpg out of it. But be prepared to have people ride your ass when you are trying to stay on ev. Literally everyone will run you off the road. Great for around town and that's it.
I only use EV mode when I'm sitting in traffic. I think that's the only reasonable time to use it without looking like a jackass. Cruising through town at 20-25mph is just plain inconsiderate.
probably also a good way to hard cycle the battery. its important for battery health to do this occasionally. if you notice you battery performance drop this should bring it back.
@@dddddw9590 looks like hard cycle means to drain the battery every now and then so its good for the health of the battery, if i understand that correctly..
I get 40mpg regularly. Its when the wife takes it out and just sits in it, AC on high, idiling for (I just told her) 400-500 minutes a month while waiting to pick our kid up from the bus stop. She gets very angry if I say anything so its like whatever. Defeats my whole purposes. Battery is always near empty.
@@JackH007 now now I do not for a second believe that!! My wife does not treat car in a silly way. She always parks correct etc .. doesn't grind tyres on road while in standing position.etc and many more complaints I could dream up
How did you ascertain she was residing in the UK? She might be Russian, Japanese, or Venezuelan. Anyways - it’s a 8-9 US gallon when the light comes on with a 11 gal tank capacity. Typical fuel economy is 40-45 MPG.
Not sure. Except that I believe it is different than just an EV light turning on in dashboard. It has yet to work for me, but the gas mileage is so amazing that I'm not complaining.
This is the best option so it will be less distracting. The car will determine when to enter EV mode. The green indictor appears left hand side of the instrument cluster.
For 100% free? Yeah, no. Didn't think so. Etron requires you to plug it into your house every night and increase your electric bill. Mine is free and supposedly goes up to 12 miles without gas. And I don't even know wtf this gte thing is you're talking about. Probably the same as etron though.
the fuel that you put into the vehicle is used up to run the electric motor inside the vehicle which charges the battery and in return you dont use a lot of fuel but you get to use battery

any problems with the car? how many miles are on it?
@@artisankyle 90k miles so far. Runs like a dream.
I agree. Ev mode works great as an automated feature
Assuming you're hypermiling, EV mode is on up to 25mph.
I hit the button once and a quarter shot out of the air vent.
See! It DOES work!!!! Thanks for letting me know about that!
😂😂😂😂
Thx for reminding me that gas used to be 25 cents a gallon!
probably also a good way to hard cycle the battery. its important for battery health to do this occasionally. if you notice you battery performance drop this should bring it back.
Great input! Thank you for the contribution!!!

Hey could you explain what you’re saying I don’t quite understand haha
@@dddddw9590 looks like hard cycle means to drain the battery every now and then so its good for the health of the battery, if i understand that correctly..
Good explanation. Thanks!

I'm considering trading in my Nissan Leaf for the CT200h......any advise as to why I shouldn't
Sam Khalil do it! The quality and materials are amazing. Much more than a bmw and it’s pretty fast for a hybrid
I say do it. The goodies of the Lexus interior alone are worth it. Not to mention, if you like style the CT200h is a head turner in certain colors.
i would def get the lexus 200k miles or more no issues nissan is made by renault now so i heard they were garbage
I said don't go for lexus ct200h one of the worst car
@@mohammadibrahim7015 idiot.
The heated seat temp at max setting has to be hot enough to cook huevos.
Yessss!!!! 🤣
What is the meaning of 'current' on the dasboard?
What is the total range you managed to cover driving economically?

Will EV mode work on cold soak engine?
No
How much to fill up the tank?
Arnd abt 55 to 60 quid i would say having filled up recently.

$18-$24 dollars for a full tank in D.C area.
around $40-50 from E. and it will last you a good week even if you use it daily.
Less than $19 for 10 gallons in TX.
How is this different than eco mode which on my 2013 Lexus es300h also shuts off motor and runs on electric only where applicable
Not sure. Except that I believe it is different than just an EV light turning on in dashboard. It has yet to work for me, but the gas mileage is so amazing that I'm not complaining.
why not just keep it in ECO mode ? in eco mode it will run on batteries only till you surpass 20mph
This is the best option so it will be less distracting. The car will determine when to enter EV mode. The green indictor appears left hand side of the instrument cluster.
Mike DiCiero evo mode on my 13 es300h will go up to 46mph
halo sir,, i whant know the model (2011 highbrid) howmany ltr petrol tank full...? pls help me
I think 35 liters
If you're in Sport and you select EV mode does it override that setting, the same as it would if you were in eco or normal?
It will override
Terrain in the Netherlands:mostly flat
In My City Gas is $1 Gallon
I have literally gone 1 week on $4 of gas! Lol. It's like FREE candy and drinks for my lil guy :)
Less than a mile at less than 20mph? What's the point!! You need a plug-in if you want a proper ev mode. 😂
Nice-oscar works perfect taking my kids to school sitting in a long car line.
@@brentmiller8494 just got the 2016 f sport trim, best car ever!
@@brentmiller8494 and best looking hybrid, unless you want the new plugin hybrids but even those are ugly per my girl.
holy cow this is 2013??? i just got a 15 looks nothing like this
Our 2015s are vastly improved over 2014s and older. You can even pay Lexus to activate remote start on your phone, but its a rip off @ $80/yr.
2015-2017 all same generation. Toyota likes to do things in 3s, it seems.
Map is also a rip off @ $200+ for each updated chip. So angering.
@@JackH007it was a nice 2015 but didn't have the mouse or display screen which sucks
I got the 2015 and I’m pissed mine doesn’t have that display and cool techs with seat warmers wtf ),:
Etron and gte drives more than 20miles come on lexus

Its not free it is charging when u are driving and uses more gas.
it will actually cost more gas.
How does the battery recharge?
the fuel that you put into the vehicle is used up to run the electric motor inside the vehicle which charges the battery and in return you dont use a lot of fuel but you get to use battery
