HOW TO DRIVE ANY HONDA HYBRID 

Honda’s Accord Hybrid driving experience is phenomenal 👌. Keep up the good videos…

Just got my 24 honda Accord hybrid and I love it

can you describe the braking power and what it does to the battery and how to properly use or what that means?

Hybrid. Love my 2022 Accord Hybrid Accord Touring.

Does the paddle reset after each time you stop the car, or does it remember the setting?

Thanks! Waiting for delivery of our CR-V hybrid.

Hybrid. Waiting for my 2023 CR-V hybrid. Very helpful, especially downshift vs braking. 👍

should you warm up the engine in the morning before driving?

I’ve been breaking trying to keep my needle at or above the a white line in the green while stopping thing that charged the batter faster. Can’t wait to try down shifting!

I have this car, the paddles definitely help with the gas mileage by assisting the regenerative breaking system and charging the battery more plus saves your break pads

Like your videos. I have the same 2022 accord hybrid sport. It's just a fun car to drive. knowing how high gas is it makes you want to get the best mileage you can. Sometimes I wish I got the 2.0 turbo instead but overall I think I made the right choice getting the hybrid.

I drive a 2019 accord hybrid, and I've found that if you set your cruise control to the speed you eventually want to get to, it will also keep it in ev mode longer and will accelerate faster. Now, I'm not sure how that affects the MPGs, but its something that I found interesting.

What PSI are your tires set at? Have you experimented with different gasolines? I got my 2022 Accord hybrid a few weeks ago (love it), just filled up for the first time. Avg was 5.2L / 100 KM on the first tank. Rated for 5.0, but people forget if you have family in the car with you 90% of the time (2 car seats, 2 kids, + wife) all of these things impact your efficiency compared to laboratory theoreticals.

Haha I do the same. Light feathering on the gas. It’s a like a game to me that I play everyday I drive my touring. As long as no one is behind me I get high 40s close to 50 mpg. Always! Haha

Fun video. Helpful too!

I DO THE SAME THING......Great advice :)

I own this as well, my basic driving skill is when you throttle down and the engine turns on, leave it and re-step it. the electric motor will back to work again.

Aye great videos, can you answer me these questions, much appreciate I intend to buy a CRV HEV 24 and these features kinda confused me 1.When to use B and D? 2.If I dont switch to B, would my electric motor still running? 3.Can you explain more about (-) and (+) part. I read CRV HEV manual book and it said if you want to increase more energy, and slow the car, press (+); (-) is vice versa 4.Can you tell me the cost of maintaining Honda HEV vehicles, cuz technically if we have 2 motors, it would be way more costly to maintain the car

hi, my dad has a honda grace 2015 hybrid (its called a honda city in some places) and the gearbox went dead. what caused this problem?

Just try to get use to using your break regen system that helps also. I alway have mine to one below the max.

Hybrid, i have a Honda CRV 2024...I NEEDED THAT INFO. THANK YOU!❤

Hybrid: Thank you for the video, I purchased my car a week ago and I was not totally clear on how and when to use the downshift paddle. So, to use your example from video, as I approach a stop I should still lightly press gas but use paddles to downshift or do I simply release the gas but still downshift? Sorry if that is a silly question but a lot of what’s this car offers is new to me. Thanks again

I do appreciate this video. I would like to see you driving normal that's the real test. Nobody will drive like this you actually want to use your gas you don't want it sitting in the tank getting too too old. 100 miles a gallon is sick so babying it is not necessary. Thanks for this. Appreciate it.

To get more mpg you need to be in a traffic jam in LA and you'll get the best ev mode out of your car lol

I'm averaging well over 47 in Miami traffic on my 2024 crv hybrid sport L. My secret is to keep my foot off the brake as much as posible and stay under 65mph. Got to work with its strong points.

Here's a question for you from another Honda Accord Hybrid owner. Mine is a 2017, which is the first year that they did the major hybrid system redesign, and mechanically it hasnt changed much through 2022 from what I understand. The main difference is that the 2017 is the old 2012 body style with the new hybrid mechanicals and a 15.8 gallon gas tank, which is bigger than when the 2018 and newer were remade. I can literally go 650 miles on a tank. It's awesome. Here is my question: Let's say you need to do a long highway drive. What is the optimal speed for you to set the cruise at for the highest MPG? Assume you will be using cruise control and there is very little other traffic. My experience over 70k miles tells me that the sweet spot is somewhere between 55 and 65 miles per hour, where you will get close to 45 mpg on a pretty flat drive. Hills will complicate things, of course. If I push it to 70 or 75, my mileage drops down to like 35. I am curious if you ever tried to test this out yourself on the highway? If you reset the trip meter every 5-10 minutes or so during your drive, you can get a good estimate of what the optimal speed mpg is. Give it a try and let me know how you do!

We are considering the Accord Hybrid. Ive been looking all day for a video showing how realistic the EV function works in real life. This is the first video that I have found

I haven’t read through the comments but I know it’s a bit obsessive but here in Colorado if you turn off the cabin(interior) heat you will stay in EV about 25% longer. The naturally aspirated engine has to run to keep you warm.

It’s not downshifting it’s regeneration braking

What extenders are you using for behind the wheel paddles? Regards

My mileage seem to get bigger fast is that normal ?

What it means when it get close to the L??

Just got a 2023 Hybrid Touring. Of course, this one has the 19" wheel and tire package - an mpg thief! Averaging 43 mpg in 100 miles in city and easy urban driving 50/50. I noticed my battery level meter never seems to go over 1/2 "full". Is this normal?

When do you fill up your gas tank and charge your ev part also how often

Curious how do we downshift and such.. when??

My speedometer is in km/h, can anyone please tell me how to switch it to mph for a 2019 accord hybrid?

Will it damage the battery life by doing this ?

Nitpick: When you drive with the gas engine off, it is called *_EV Drive_* not EV Mode. The green “EV” letters appear in the driver’s display. *_EV Mode_* is when you push the “EV” button, asking the car to prefer EV Drive over Hybrid Drive or Engine Drive. But EV Drive by itself isn’t what saves gas - in fact, it likely uses more gas than if you were to drive about the same way but let the car choose another Drive method. All of the energy you use comes from burning gas. In EV Drive, it is gas you burned earlier to charge the battery. Since this energy takes an extra trip through the generator, the inverters, the battery, and the inverters again? There is more loss. The reason you got >70 mpg in the short drive in the video, is because you used gas from your previous trip (8 bars at the start, 3 or 4 at the end). That gas in not included in the 70 mpg calculation. The way this car uses less, is that when the engine runs at 34 HP, the engine is 40.6% efficient (real numbers from engineering papers). But at 5 to 10 HP, which is what you need to cruise at 30 to 40 mph, it would be 25% to 30% efficient. Big difference. So instead of running at 5 to 10 HP, the engine runs at 34 HP and “banks” the extra energy in the battery. The energy it uses immediately is used with 40% efficiency. The energy you take from the battery has more loss, so it might get used at about 30% efficiency. Yes, this is still better than what it would be without the battery, but you'd like as much as possible to be 40%. THEN, there are two ways you can slow the car. “Coasting” is when you lift your foot up on the gas pedal, using only regeneration to slow the car. All the paddles do, is increase how strong this effect is. “Braking” is when you use the brake pedal. What you don’t realize, is that “braking” is computer-driven. The car will choose to use as much regeneration as it can - and is safe - before resorting to the friction brakes. It can even use more than it would while coasting. So as long as braking doesn’t push the “charging” monitor on the left of the driver’s display all the way to the end, you will get as much, *_or more_* regeneration as you would with the paddles for the same amount of slowing. The paddles can help train you to what this means, but you don’t need to use them. (But they do help control you downhill.)

Honda & Toyota hybrid, nothing else.😊

You don’t need to be doing all this downshifting, downshifting regenerates the same amount of energy as using the brakes except it generates it in the “efficient zone” .. you’re pressing your brakes too hard and going into the non efficient zone and probably going into using your actual brakes, don’t let the regen needle pass 70% and youll see significantly higher mpg due to more regen energy stored

What is this Honda model?

I bought a Honda hybrid 2024 crv i don't want to be taught how to hyper mile and drive around at a effort level i just want to drive and the gas mileage is abysmal.i can drive like a crazy person coasting down hills but this is ridiculous. Why didn't I get a RAV4 those get good accurate mileage with non of this feathering garbage

Wish there was a mod. Fit another battery pack, and Plug in Hybrid option. Thoughts everyone? Love my Honda Hybrid.

I only get like 36 out of my 17 touring hybrid.

I thought the thumbnail was edited because of the 420 miles of range but I guess not 😂

Is there a way to completely get out of this mode? It kicked in for the first time after having the car a week when i drove out if town. It’s like driving with resistance. I need to travel home today & will be on the interstate, but can’t get it to drive normally. Is there s button to press to get it out of this mode? Please help

Do you like your car

May aswell get a push bike.

Only PROBLEM, that I don't like, is that when one hits the paddle shifters to slow down, the BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ENGAGE. Drivers behind you DO NOT KNOW.😮

You don't show how to switch from EV to gas mode.

How much range or miles do you get every time you fill up? And whats’s you average mpg

Ugh... considering a hybrid Accord but this looks like a pain in the butt.
