Hi Jason:

___I don’t see anything to be perplexed about either. If a PHEV were in the test and ran the entire FTP75 or the HWFET tests in EV without the EPA accounting for the pack charge (infinite mpg), then we would have a problem but the Prius II’s pack was supposedly pretty close to the same on each side of the test the last I had read. I thought at first it wasn’t given the sky high numbers but read in an Edmunds forum post a few months ago that it was a 4 or 5 bar at the beginning and the end of the test.

___Good Luck
