  • Electric vehicles are fast, efficient and refined but they don’t work everyone. Don't have access to home Level 2 charging or commercial DC fast charging on road trip routes? Plug-in hybrids might be the perfect solution. The new 2023 Toyota Prius Prime delivers up to 44 miles of electric range and sci-fi design. Could it be the perfect electrified option? Tom Voelk road trips a top trim XSE Premium model with the optional solar roof to Bow-Edison, WA.

    전기로 출퇴근, 장거리와 겨울엔 기름으로 따뜻하게 달리수 있어 좋습니다

    Fact. With a Tesla you will never need gas. That means you never pay a premium for transportation.

    PHEVs could have been a thing when battery were very expensive, but it is too late ; now they make no sense compared to EVs. PHEVs do not even solve the problem of people without home charging since you need to be able to plug at home for PHEV to work, otherwise you just bought an overpriced and overweight hybrid petrol car. For the same price, or even cheaper, a Tesla model 3 will be a quite better choice. Not to mention PHEVs are a nightmare for maintenance.

      People who buy this car are people who can easily charge it at home, just like any Tesla. The most convenient way to charge a Tesla is at home overnight.
      A M3 is not better because you can't go 600 miles on a full charge. The Prius Prime has more than double the range of a M3.
      Lastly, Tesla's quality control and service suck compared to Toyota. The Prius Prime not only looks better than the aging design of Tesla's but it's much better built too. No contest!

      @@mrxman581If you drive 600 miles or even 300 miles without at least a 15 minutes break, you are just a criminal. Anyway, the best selling car in Europe in 2023 is the Tesla model Y, while the Prius is not even in the top 25. In France -- where I live -- the government has stopped incentives for PHEV (even with French automakers making many of them) because it is considered a fiscal fraud since studies show that most people who own a PHEV do not even have a charge point at home or at work, most of them only ever plug to access a place reserved for charging on busy streets. But sure, you know better...

    After your 56 miles of range or gone your consumption will go way up because you are carrying the weight of your battery and the electric motor with your has engine. This technology is beyond idiotic. Electric mobility is an IQ test and people who still drive hybrids are failures. So let me get that straight. For a short distance that you could easily do with a pure electric car the hybrid is useful and as soon as you reach the limit of your hybrid battery range your motor and you battery turn into a consumption booster. The only point of a sluin hybrid is so that manufacturers can still charge you for service of your outdated unnecessary tech. If you want to show that you are a failure buy a plugin hybrid.
