2021 Prius Prime

Yes, that's what I was expecting in the 2021 model as well, and that's how I explained to @DC_2004_Prius. Can you confirm that the subpanel display switch between the "Current fuel consumption" and "Current electricity consumption" on your 2021 PP? Looking at the 2021 PP manual and comparing it to the 2020 manual, the 2021 manual clearly omitted the "Current electricity consumption" display.

Left is the page from the 2021 manual and the right is from the 2020 manual.

 

OK, so you do see the "Current electricity consumption" on the subpanel of the 2021 PP. Phew! That means Toyota just omitted the display diagram from the 2021 manual. Still not the best implementation when you have to choose between RSA or subpanel, but at least they are available to view.

 

I just went outside and checked. Yes, it displays m/kWh or MPG for EV or HV, respectively if RSA is turned off.

 

Thanks, yes. So at least I can see it - by turning off road sign feature - which I like in local EV driving because it alerts me to those pesky 25mph signs.

now if we could just get the 11.6" fancy display to give the "Trip Information and Past Record"- (under Info under menu) - IN MILES/KWHR FOR THE EV FUNCTION OF THE CAR! jfc. every single bar is pegged past 200mpg on "trip information and past record". We are not using the gas engine for local driving. Can we not display the EV kwhr consumption data equivalent under Trip Information and Past Record under Info on the big screen. Geez Toyota. what use is every bar pegged past 200mpg WHEN I'M NOT USING GASOLINE for the whole week? argh.

 

It does display on info center on LE prime. Under info, on display. Maybe the xle and limited don't get that? I've been averaging 26-35 miles a charge. Aka 4.9-5.9 kwh.

 

can you show me a photo of miles/kwhr on your main display screen that you get on your LE?

I only get miles/kwhr on the top small display where speed/odo etc. are - and only instantaneous/with a little arrow denoting avg.
the daily consumption record will display avg. miles/kwhr - with a number for the day.

What I don't understand - is how my big display - 11.6" screen - does not give me consumption in miles/kwhr - only mpg whatever mode I'm in. thus when we are doing all ev driving locally during the week - every single bar under "info" and "trip information" and "past record" - is pegged at 200mpg. meaningless.

can i get miles/kwhr data on my main 11.6" screen ? Instead of a bunch of meaningless 200mpg bars- how about some miles/kwhr bars please?

 

I believe this is what you're talking about?

 

Oopsie I meant this pic

THanks - yes I've found that on the upper display. when I said "main display" I meant "large 11.6" touchscreen display" when you select "info". I realize MID is main information display - upper small/speedometer display, etc. sorry mixed monikers there.

That is nice to have SOMETHING there EV related - but on a 2017 prius you could touch "show information" or something similar on the big (not 11.6") lower touch screen and show every 1min. of driving record and it really showed you your usage/consumption/conservation on a drive - and now the big screen gives only mpg info - when i'm driving in EV mode and need mpkwhr. argh.

On the big/main 11.6' touch screen - there is zero EV based consumption/history - nothing in miles/kwhr - every bar under "past record" etc. under "info" on the 11.6" big screen - is in mpg. Or the three ways to show useless pretty picture of energy flow...WITH ZERO DATA/NUMBERS along side. And the useless "energy monitor" graphic that shows the picture of a battery and "Regenerated" - and has nothing useful. What good is that Toyota?

We are driving this magnificent smooth car like an EV ony car for the most part driving it locally solely in EV mode most days- and every bar on that info>past record and trip information screen is pegged out at 200mpg (unless it's for when we've taken it on highway and used hybrid mode/ice). So annoyed Toyota doesn't include these screens for EV mode driving record - the entire 11.6" screen is useless for consumption/energy/trip information since we've been using electricity/kwhrs and not gasoline.

fu**ing useless Toyota. please fix this with a firmware/software upgrade please.

 

Good luck with that although there is a very small chance that happens. I'm sure there's reasons. Like I can't display hv battery percentage at all. Ev yes percentage and all. However on my wife's 2020 limited normal prius it does. Shows bars left. I don't get that

 

5-seater for one.

 

I did the same thing last September with my supersonic red. Love it better!

 

that's a big one!
