With the Prius Prime, Toyota addressed the main knock on its predecessor: a small battery and puny electric range. The Prius Prime provides an EV-only range of 25 miles thanks to its 8.8-kWh lithium-ion battery packâwhich doubles the capacity of the former 4.4-kWh pack.
All batteries wear out over time, but several factors influence when that happensbattery chemistry, the number of charge and discharge cycles, temperature extremes, even humidity. Your Prius carries a 10-year, 150,000-mile warranty on the hybrid battery. You'll notice two things when it's time for a new power pack: The engine will run almost constantly, even under light acceleration, and your fuel economy will drop off significantly.
