2025 Toyota Prius | Is This The Best, or Worst of Both Worlds?

After a week with the latest version of the Prius Plug-in Hybrid, previously known as the Prius Prime and here's how it went. The Prius is no longer boring, it's cool! This 2025 Prius Plug-in Hybrid is a hybrid vehicle with a large 13.6kWh battery allowing it to be driven up to 44 miles on pure electricity when fully charged. When the battery is depleted, the Prius Prime will act as a traditional hybrid vehicle, getting up to 52 miles per gallon depending on the trim. The larger, heavier battery reduces its fuel-economy by several points compared to the standard Prius when operated in hybrid mode. Some argue that Plug-in hybrids are the best of both worlds, and for some drivers they can be. The average daily commute in the US is less than 40 miles, allowing a PHEV owner to drive purely on electricity while only relying on gas for longer trips. This of course would make longer trips and road trips more convenient, especially thanks to a complete EV + gas range of 550 miles. #prius #hybrid #automobile #phev #ev #cars
