Extending EV Mode in a Prius

While I was making my first serious drive in a Prius on the way to HybridFest - I came up with an innovative way to extend the EV mode. Little did I know that hobbit actually came up with this idea first.

It's illustrated in this video clip.

There's gotta be a way to use those batteryless flashlights you shake for power we got at the Toyota trailer

Re: Extending EV Mode in a Prius

Reason I was doing that was traffic got bottlenecked in I55 in southern Illnois. Five miles of gridlock depleted the battery pack to about two bars (visible on video on full screen)

LOL! And I thought Flinstoning out of my garage every morning was the ultimate silliness.
