    Man, your range increase is slowing down, your "growth" curve is flattening, you know what Wall Street thinks about that... I think you should go and do what @Prius from Dad demonstrated... go beat his 48.2 miles on EV...;):cool::D:ROFLMAO:

    Charged it up, for only the second time, and the EV miles to go showed 21.9 - similar to the first time I charged.

    Drove it on somewhat local roads with the air and car set to Eco + EV. Round trip was 19.8 miles. When done, the EV miles remaining showed 10.3 with about 47% charge left. I think that's a good sign that more than 25 miles EV is possible.

    EDIT:
    Thinking about this further, I'd love it if a graphic overlay on the map would show a circle of remaining estimated EV range, both round trip and/or one-way, from where the car currently is. This is possible on Google maps at home, but not from the built-in map in the car.

    great start ... it'll need a few charging cycles before the displayed EV range gets more accurate but you will see it going up, and up ... of course depending your driving style ...

    Challenge lost. I'm not worthy :notworthy: I went about 14 MPH average, sometimes it would creep up to 19 MPH. And I did the trips in three segments an hour per segment with an hour break in between.

    well ... disappointed now ...
    just kidding, 46.5 - awesome! so the time difference between the clock on your pics indicates that you spent ~ 5+ hrs, that I call dedication :cool::cool:
    I assume you used AC since temps were in the 80s so maybe that would give you another 2 miles or so.

    Nicely done, but @Prius from Dad keeps the gold medal, for now :cool::LOL:

    Anyone else notice the Entune app to be 2 miles higher than what the car shows on the dash? My app has finally reached the 30 mile range! :) Sadly the highest I've seen inside the car was 27.5 miles. My daily passenger complains about me driving slowly and not turning the AC cooler. lol So it takes 5 to 10 minutes longer to get to work... but I'm not using any gas!

    Awesome! (y) And I agree with @joachimz that was dedication, also boring as hell but I had fun.

    I got some strange stares from the people on the street I was going back and forth on (the street had no stop signs for about 6/10 ths of a mile. Even had a lady flag me down to find out what was up. I told her I have an electric car and was trying to see how far I could go, she seemed satisfied with my answer. Then, a short while later I saw a 9 year old girl walk out of her house staring at me so I decided to take another route.

    Yeah I got the stares too, in the beginning. After a while, I zoomed out and found some fairly long 25 mph roads and kept alternating between about 5 of them. I'm thinking the rolling stop signs did help because I would just coast to a rolling stop and actually regened coming up to them.
    I applaud your efforts, Sir. (y);)

    Driving the Prius Prime is like a video game... you constantly try to "level-up" by beating your previous highest score... and to be fair, the Prius does actually give you a score out of 100 for your driving skills ;-)

    This drive is about the same as my prior best but they happen infrequently so I'm sharing!
    All EV is a nice way to drive to work
