    Hi EVlove, welcome to PriusChat! Where are you? Do you have a factory installed EV switch? If you are in a country that gets factory installed EV switches, I suspect the switch is pushed in. North American Prius don't have a light like that, I don't think.

    That's the factory EV mode (so I presume you're not in Canada or the US).

    Perhaps there's a malfunction?

    And are you on Right-Hand drive too?

    The only EV light on the dash I saw before is from JDM Prius' photos.....
    Side note: Their POWER button is located under the side vent, instead of on the dash. Guess for the export Prius, Toyota didn't just 'mirror/flip' the dash.

    Are you talking about the little green car next to the word Consumption that stands for watt hours regenerated?

    Edit. Sorry I just realized that you said it flashes. Can't be what I thought.
