I have owned 3 Priuses, all
I have owned 3 Priuses, all with over 150,000 miles. A 2005 and 2015 "regular" Prius and a 2012 Prius V which is my favorite so far due to the extra cargo space and the far better air conditioning & heating. I "work hard" to get 40 mpg in my V. My husband can get 50 without any effort. Different driving styles. He (easily) averages 50 mpg in the 2015 Package 5 Prius with the sunroof and completely lame solar panel. Our next cars will likely be Tesla. We do not care for the styling of the Generation 4 Prius. It's too "cat like" looking & effeminate for my husband. He also struggles with not enough leg room on longer trips as he's 6'4. The new version interests me, but we'd be more inclined to get a hybrid CHR if they decide to sell them in the US before we got another Priys. We've been toying with the idea of a 2019 or more recent Rav 4 Hybrid, but they're so expensive, even used. Thank you for sharing more info about hybrid and EV cars (and trucks). I love a hybrid car as charging an EV seems a little... daunting to me.
