Toyota Prius Prime 2021 Operating Modes, House GFCI and putting it in storage

In this video I cover everything that dealer can not tell you about driving and taking care of your Toyota Prius Prime. First off we need a outdoor GFCI direct line to the circuit breaker box (dedicated circuit, page 132-133 of OM). We then need to learn about all the driving modes and what the mean. Lastly, you need to learn how to take care of your hybrid battery and fuel system.

-- Page 88 on HV mode:
Switching to HV mode when driving on a highway or when driving uphill is recommended in order to conserve battery power. My take on this is you should use HV mode on long trips, in hilly or mountainous regions, or in very hilly cities. This will put less strain on the battery and will prolong its life and use.
-- Page 105 of Owner's Manual--Using Eco drive mode:
Primarily using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accelerator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions. My take on this is you should use Eco mode for stop and go city driving as it is easier on, and can prolong the life of your Prius Prime transmission.
-- Page 104 of Owner's Manual--Notice about fuel:
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and may undergo changes in quality depending on how the vehicle is used. Refuel at least 5.3 gallons (20L) every 12 months. Not doing so may affect components of the fuel system. My take on this is operate in RV mode sometimes to burn fuel keeping at least 5.3 gallons or more in the gas tank at all times.
-- Page 143 of the Owner's Manual--Charging the hybrid/traction battery:
Leave a low level charge in the hybrid/traction battery when leaving the vehicle undriven. Use the charging schedule as much as possible in order to fully charge the battery immediately before starting off. My take on this is only charge the battery 1/2 to 3/4 capacity if you are not immediately planning to drive the vehicle in EV mode. This will prolong the life of the hybrid/traction battery. The dash has multiple indicators you can watch where you can stop charging at 60 to 80 percent of battery capacity.

Mid way through this video is a good explanation of the driving modes:
