As discussed many many times on this site (and others), the size of the battreis (and hence the pure EV range) depends on your driving pattern and pocket.
Nobody wants to drive like a “Grandma”. How do you define “nobody”? At least Grandmas will drive like a Grandma. :)

It’s totally correct for PIP calls itself Plug-in Hybrid. It’s a hybrid and can be plugged-in. Why do you object?
No shame at all for Toyota here. How about you?

That is right. Look at the sticker. It is rated by EPA as 6 miles electric ONLY and 11 miles in “mixed” driving. Yet, just about every Pip owners and fan become a sucker to Toyota’s Prius ads of “15 miles” electric range…

It is a “shame” that PIP even call itself a “plugin” and EV owners should definitely hate it since it “hogs” up public available charging station for other EV users…

This is another “scam” attempt by the Toyota to advertise the PIP (which is about as inferior as its gets in its EV mode in comparison with just about every other plugin hybrids).

@Chuck in NJ,

Are you serious? Your lack of the knowledge in the plugin market shows in your comment. Volt was clearly avaiable back in March before you ordered your Prius. If you claim that you drive so much in EV mode as in your Prius Plugin, you would have been able to stay in EV mode only as in Volt.

BTW, I have driven the Prius Plugin and you would have drive slower and “feather” the pedal to stay in EV mode….

Nobody wants to drive like a “Grandma”….
