Has anyone ever tried towing a toyota prius prime?
We have a Prius (not prime) that has an EV mode that allows for about 25-30 miles on the battery alone. It’s not a plug-in.Ours is a Prius Prime meaning it has a battery that can be charged to get 30 miles on a charge. I’ve seen other Prius dolly towed but they weren’t Primes.

Well, our Prius has an EV button when pressed allows driving on battery alone for a short distance.With all due respect, no non-plug in Prius does that. Does your Prius drive with the ICE off? My wife drives a 2013 Prius Plug in and gets about 12 miles from the charged battery before the ICE is needed. The Prius Prime is the next evolution of the PIP Prius, it gets the longer EV range.
Yeah, just looked at the book from the car. Toyota says about .6 of a mile. I was looking at a Website that was obviously incorrect. I think I will try it though since the ICE will kick in before the battery is depleted. I’ll post back here at what mileage the ICE actually kicks in.EV mode is for 1 mile range max and limited to very low speeds. Mostly to move the car around in a parking lot or so. No where near your claim of 25-30 miles. Just go out and drive it in EV mode and report back.
