    Just got our Prius... love it :D

    I wonder what is the usual battery reading?
    I noticed that ours is often times not full,
    but about 1-2 bars white. (this is the reading
    under consumption).

    ?

    Thanks!

    Perfectly normal. 6 blue bars is equivalent to 60% state of charge (SOC) which is exactly what the car is programmed to try to maintain. Above and below that is the buffer.
