I’m driving the 2013 Plug-in Prius (UK name for the Prime I think ?) with the 4.4kWh pack. I get 25% EV.
Maybe 20kWh would be enough to get it to 90%+ for most people ?
That, in my opinion, is pretty close to problem sorted in terms of decarbonisation of transport. Toyota could have had it in the bag by now.
- blacksmith_tb 5y agoI agree - most drivers only need to get around town for commuting and errands most of the time (and batteries bigger than 20kWh take a long time to charge without a dedicated charger at home). The original Plug-In Prius is quite different from the Prime[1] though, the original was spun off the Gen 3 Prius, the Prime is even a little farther from the Gen 4. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Prius_Plug-in_Hybrid#XW50 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Prius_Plug-in_Hybrid#XW...
