Hybrid System Functionality
The high-voltage battery pack stores electrical energy for the electric motor, allowing electric-only driving under certain conditions and assisting the gasoline engine during acceleration to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. The Prius c offers three distinct drive modes: Normal, Eco, and EV mode. Eco mode reduces overall energy consumption by governing climate control and throttle to improve vehicle efficiency. Under certain conditions, the EV mode allows the Prius c to be driven solely by electric power for a short distance (under 1 mile) while remaining below 25 mph [1].
