The Volt came pretty close to ideal in this regard, but I'm wondering why Toyota still doesn't use the minimum size battery that qualifies for the full rebate amount in the Prime. They are leaving money on the table.

When asked they blather on about mass market price, knowing your audience, weight and the chassis not supporting the larger battery along with crash tests.
All this while the Prime has one less seat for a solar option they won’t sell that would qualify for solar rebates and wasted empty hatch space where the spare would but can’t because of design errors (that could also hold more battery)
