Prius Prime – Month 4

The biggest milestone in the past month for my Prius Prime was passing the 1,000 miles mark and still have 7/8 ths of the first tank of gas!

That means that

  • Remember to charge the car after I drive it (overnight while the rates for electricity are at their lowest) and
  • Most of my trips are relatively short and done almost entirely on the EV battery rather than using any gas at all.

I am still looking forward to a road trip and anticipating it will happen when my daughter moves into her apartment near Penn State. The majority of the trip will utilize the hybrid aspect of the car rather than the EV.

Overall, I am very pleased with the car. I enjoy the quite of the EV….and the adaptive cruise control is something that has thoroughly spoiled me for the old-style cruise control!
