Toyota’s goal was to make the Prime be at cost parity with any other economy car so sacrifices were needed.
Sort of like the Prius AWD has a 6hp rear motor
Rumor also has it that Toyota’s battery is “a limiting factor “ as well
Toyota’s lack of real interest is because they are behind on battery tech and can’t make mainstream plug ins profitably
If you want an earful about why Toyota’s approach is the only valid one and everyone else so far is wrong contact internal Prius expert and advocate john1701a (he is easy to find)
