Default Re: Drove a Prius for the first time today.

Stealth Mode is when the electric motor is the only thing moving the car. EV mode is another name for it.

There is a modification you can perform that tells the car you want to drive in EV mode, the button is missing from North American models, but Europe and Japan have the button and our cars have the feature, they just need the button. Otherwise you have to be gentle enough on the gas to accelerate on electric-only. Be careful in parking lots because people can't really hear your car, so you can't expect them to stay out of the way like they would if they could hear the car.
