I'd appreciate a fix in your article. You state the following: "When you take advantage of its charging capabilities, Prius Prime boasts estimates of 133 MPGe. This rating score combines hybrid mpg with electric use benefits."
This is not correct. MPGe is only the efficiency of the EV mode of the car, in other words, it is only measuring the efficiency of the car when it is traveling the 25 or so range of the prime's 8.8Kw battery.

Yes... some vehicles start to mix the two values of the MPG and MPGe, in my opinion this is not helpful, it can be as it shows the two different propulsion motors efficiencies in one number... but it is not helpful, bc it should also note what percentage of the time it was in EV mode, or hybrid mode.

At any rate, your explanation of MPGe for the prius prime comes up first when I google: "explaining prius prime mpge". Could you make the edit?
