That's what I was thinking, so: 1) extensive use of accessories in ACC mode can lead to drained 12V, shortening it's life and requiring recharge...
This is what I used to think, but then I read somewhere that you can use the Air Conditioning while in IG-ON? Doesn't the compressor use the HV...
In ACC mode, you will deplete the 12V accessory battery, not the High Voltage (HV) traction battery. This is still bad because it will reduce the...

No. In reverse the Prius uses ONLY an electric motor (MG2) for propulsion. It does not use the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) at all....
Perhaps you and I have different concepts of "very strong" and "way, way short of". In my opinion 100 amp braking is significant braking....
