It was one of the main selling points of the Prius (which has regenerative braking). Great gas mileage, especially in city driving.

This is correct. I'm a Prius driver. I get 45-55 mpg on the highway, depending on conditions. If it's just city driving, I get 55-65 mpg. I've had as high as 72 mpg, many years ago driving Uber downtown.

Man, don't I know it. The 2023 Prime is out with a 39-44 mile range, which would cover about half my total daily commute, plus my employer has free charging. Someday...

I'd happily trade it all for robust public transportation, though.

Thanks, I'd keep that in mind.
