    Hello,

    I am new to the prius family as of last Saturday. Would love advice on charging battery and getting the most in my mileage. I live in the mountains and commute an hour and 15 minutes one way. Half through winding curves, the other half freeway.

    Thank you

    Welcome!
    Gen 1 or II - pip or Prime ??
    . . . . Either way, especially if you're new, just drive it for now. You can begin to figure high mileage/range stuff out, weeks or months later if you want to get a serious case of OCD, like many of us. In the mean time?
    Just Enjoy!

    welcome and congrats!

    easiest advice is to charge whenever possible, use ev for slower, lower power requirements. but make sure you use it up before the next charge station.

    all the best!(y)
