Low battery charge full with one brake pump?

Are you just seeing the transition between the EV and HV mode battery display?

If the battery level indication is solid (not segmented) and it's showing a range estimate directly below, then the battery state of charge is higher than if it's showing "full" but segmented. You are only ever likely to see the battery really full (left-most in the diagram, with range estimate of 10-12 miles or so) if you plug it in to charge. The segmented HV mode display is replicating the battery capacity of a standard non-plugin Prius (a smaller portion of the full capacity).

I suspect "hitting" or "pumping" the brake pedal will be mostly using the friction brakes and you won't get much/any regeneration from that (you won't get much from low speed driving anyway), so it's probably going down from EV to HV mode battery status as more power is being consumed than recovered. Gentle braking over a long distance is what will get you significant regeneration.

This is why I believe. Thank you.
