My Toyota Prius has a power mode switch, where you can choose between EV, ECO, and PWR. In this video I switch between the different modes and show you what is different about them. PWR mode gives you much better throttle response, and Eco mode gives you less throttle response and uses less power on accessories so you will get better gas mileage. But if you put your foot all the way to the floor in either mode, the car gives you 100% power, so you don’t lose any emergency acceleration capability if you keep it in eco-mode versus PWR mode. You will probably get better gas mileage in Eco mode than power mode though. You can use the power mode switch on your Toyota Prius to switch between any of the modes whenever you want while you are driving. You don’t have to stop the car to change from eco-mode to PWR mode.
