Rented a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV minivan. I’ve been charging up daily to drive family around town. Battery drains insanely fasts like 20% within a mile. Wondering if it’s this specific vehicle/brand, overused rental car or reality of EVs. It says 31 miles of range but in no way is that realistic. What do you think?

    I know a couple people who have one as their primary car and generally like it a lot. I think it’s a rental car that got beat to hell because their range is decent still.

      Same. I have three on my block in Texas. All 3 families love it and still get about same max range around 30 miles after 2 years. That’s assuming minimal A/C, not our one week of winter, and not at freeway speed.

        I was on a recent road trip and saw a caravan of 6 or 7 Pacificas. Looked like a meetup and cruise across Washington State. They were having fun! Never thought a Pacifica would be an enthusiasts car, but here we are. 🤪
