I have had practically zero capacity loss in my 8.79-kWh Panasonic NMC prismatic-cell 2021 Prius Prime Limited battery so far in four years and over 36,000 miles, still getting a BEV range of 40 miles on a full charge. I should state that I do baby my battery though—never charging it until I am ready to drive, driving gently, keeping it at no more than 70% SOC when the car is not driven, etc.

This study confirms that even regular people see no more than about a 10% capacity loss in general.

My 2017 Prius has a gas tank with an 11.3 gallon capacity, according to Toyota specs.

Multiple times over the years I have waited until I have zero bars on the fuel indicator. I want to learn the single-tank range of my Prius and compare the impact of the weather/temperature.

When I fill up I always get about 9.5 gallons. I have never filled up and reached 10 gallons on the gas pump display.

Does Toyota purposely set the fuel tank gauge to display empty when there are actually more than 1.5 gallons remaining? That means you can drive about 75 miles after Prius is “empty.”

Is it a safety precaution and/or a law?
