    That (4.4 mi/kWh) is actually dismal, let alone impressive.

    I routinely average around 6.5 mi/kWh in the city with my 2021 Prius Prime Limited. I can average 6.3 mi/kWh on the highway if I keep the speed at 55 mph or below. My record in the city was 8.1 mi/kWh (round trip, 25 mph).

    I have the most advanced models and it is rated as having less range than the cheaper models. Probably the more expensive models are both heavier and more wasteful of electricity because of the added functions.

    In any case, if I can get 4 miles / kWh , that still amounts to greater than 40 miles EV, correct? I find it confusing when the battery capacity is stated like 13.8 kW-hr yet the battery is claimed only used down to 25% (how many real kW-hr do we really get)?

    I am greatly looking forward to driving to work on Wednesday. This will give me a good idea of what time I can expect in the intended use for EV
