Description of the problem	As i left work my indicator showed a full battery all bars in blue. As i was driving down the coast i noticed the battery started to quickly deplete, in approx 8. 6 miles my indicator showed 1 blue bar. At that time i was making a left onto the canyon road. I thought this was odd. As i turned left noticed a decrease in acceleration power. Didn't think much of it but about until about 2 miles in i noticed the prius started losing acceleration power the motor was running and the indicator did not show that it was in ev mode even coasting through the canyon and braking. I had to accelerate to come up a slope through a tunnel i had almost no acceleration power. The car felt like it was hesitating i think by the down hill coast and a few spurts of power surges i was able to make it through the tunnel by the 5th mile i had no power to accelerate luckily there was a road where i could make a right. As i coasted to the intersection i turned right then attempted to pull a uturn on a patch of dirt as i was 3/4 of the through the turn there was zero power the vehicle was on but no power engine cut out. No check engine light whatsoever i got suck in the middle of the 2 lane highway blocking both directions! I put on my hazards and attempted to put the car in neutral it indicated it was in neutral, then i shifted to drive but again no power the car was just making a noise and like a very faint grinding noise. At this point cars were on both lanes trying to head each direction i had to get out and push the car backwards to get 1 tire off the side grade then i was still sideways in the middle of the road. I cycle the car 3 times by putting it in park with parking brake with no luck, or power. It wasn't until 4th try it got some power the engine kicked on and i was able to pull back in the right lane and i was stuck at the corner with my hazards on.
