Howdy, y'all! SO many of you ask about how the Rav4 Prime does on a long trip where you'll be way outside your EV-only driving range, so today I'm bringing you along on a work trip to San Antonio in the Rav! We'll drive 300 miles on this trip and along the way we'll charge in public at a mall and at our hotel, using our range when we can and letting the car run as an ultra-efficient hybrid when we can't!
