Fuel consumption

I'm sure it could physically  be installed but there would be a huge amount of work involved, never mind how you would then reprogram the car's systems to account for the increased capacity

OK thanks. I was hoping it would see the Battery capacity as a % reported by the Battery.   Yes I guess it would need to allow more storage from braking etc.

Does anyone know if there is a way to install a larger capacity EV battery?

This is the only company I've heard of doing it, but not sure how successful it is with newer hybrids and I don't think it will ever pay for itself unless you do some high mileage. Plus you compromise boot space.

My IS 300h, according to the computer, burns about 5l / 100 km with very gentle driving in good conditions, with a gentle 6.5 l / 100 km, with a normal 8.5 l / 100 km, with a fast 10 l / 100 km. Apparently the computer's indications are underestimated.

Interesting. Would be curious how much it costs, parts and labour. Hard to fathom it's competitive with industrialized car manufacturing. I would not consider a Li-ion upgrade though to displace NiMh. Probably LFP chemistry, but Na-ion ideally.

Hybrid Reporter/Hybrid Assistant? I’ve found several threads mentioning this but no idea where to find it. Iphone App Store doesn’t seem to recognise it. Any clues welcome!

It's an Android app, not IOS
