What about a Toyota PHEV (Prime)? And how much more complicated they are than a (non-plugin) hybrid?

- gwbas1c 2y agoAt that point, the money you spend on a complicated drivetrain is better spent on a bigger battery. (I personally didn't like the Prius prime when I test drove it in 2013.) Keep in mind that big batteries charge "faster." On a road trip, a 200 mile EV will need more time to charge 60 to 200 miles then charging a 300 mile EV 80 to 220 miles. One of the major advantage of an EV is low maintenance. You'll have to bring the Prime in for oil changes. You don't need to do that with an EV.
