Shambles how far does it go on electric ?

Mine's the HEV not the PHEV, so it's charging itself most of the time until it switches to EV (electric vehicle). I believe the PHEV can reach around 35 miles before it reverts to hybrid.

When it switches it seems to do around 3-4 miles (motorway driving, but dependant on load) before the EV turns off. After that, it may decide to switch to hybrid style (petrol+electric) for a while before running on whole petrol.

I would never currently have a pure electric vehicle as there aren't enough charging points on my routes.

The year 2040 (or, 2032 if Labour get control) will obviously change all that when petrol & diesel cars are banned.

Shambles so does it charge as you drive I've been reading around and they don't really explain this. They say it will do 30-35miles then you need to charge it which takes 3-4hrs but the Prius charges as you drive ?

Thx Sean

Mine is a hybrid which charges as you drive, until it switches to EV mode.
