I've got 30% EV utilization on my plug-in Prius which has about a 10 mile range now. That's about 25,000 EV miles. The Prime is closer to the ideal range, though I always say Toyota is foolish to not select the minimum size battery that qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit. That's money left on the table, and it would give the Prius somewhere around a 50 mile EV range.
