  1. Hi all NOS member but just the sort of thread I joined up for! As my mileage has appeared to dip since last March, from around 50mpg down to around 35mpg, I've began to wonder about the longevity of the traction battery and the possible detrimental effect on it from lack of use over lockdown. However this thread has cheered up my optimistic side on noting mileages of 200,000 - 300,000 miles being bandied about, at that rate it will definitely outlive me! However I'm presuming the months of little use will not kill the battery off before me! Perhaps someone can enlighten me further on that point? My car is IS300h, Dec 2013 registered on 63 plate with 47,000 miles on clock, last serviced at Lexus dealer May 2020 with AOk on battery. Thanks
  2. Well you learn something new every day...... been driving this car for 6 years or so not knowing the little green light in ECO only means "engine off" Doh!! Should've read the Manual!
  3. I've seen EV mode kick in between 55 - 65 mph when coasting down gentle gradients or in over-run on the flat in my 63 plate IS300h but it's only momentarily, maybe even a blip! Doesn't occur on steep inclines which I take to be the changing gear ratios or being on the brakes more. It does occur more frequently between 40 - 50 mph under the same circumstances ie slight downhills etc. Always off throttle!
