Is there a way to tell how many EV miles my car has traveled?

    When I had a Chevy Volt, thru OnStar you can see the miles for EV vs ICE.

    Is there a way to see this with a Prius? Just curious. Thanks

    Prius C shows it in one of the display screens. Total miles and % from what the counter (A or B) you choose.

    Not exactly. While he is an owner of Prius C and likely is asking about "C", the question is posted in Gen3 section, and Gen3 does not have this information displayed.

    Of cause you could get it off OBDII but to do that you'd need android phone/tablet, ELM327 plug and Torque or TorquePro app.

    Since this exists in the Plug-in Prius, perhaps there was a plan at one point to make the Prius C a plug-n.

    it only exists if you don't reset one of the trip screens. or someone at the dealer during service.

    I had a 2012 C. The tripmeter display tracked the EV miles as well as the % of EV. At 66,400 miles I had driven about 9,300 miles in EV, or 14%.
