This one should appeal to the masses. Lots of power, nice EV range. Toyota Rav4 Prime Quote:

39 electric miles! Nice.
That should translate to ~50-55 fair-weather electric miles (non-freeway) in the hands of a decent eco-driver, assuming my experience with the Prius Prime applies. This RAV is going to kill plug-in Prius sales. https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1535301577 (From thread: I\'m driving a 2018 Prius Prime (plug-in). What do you want to know about it?) I love driving my friend's Prime. It's rated for 22 electric miles, but I was able to stretch that to mid-30 miles range without too much trouble in warm weather. I would probably still choose a Prius PHEV over a RAV, given the choice, but that's because its range works for me in my little city. Plus, I value & enjoy the bonkers efficiency of the Prius. (And I also realize nobody thinks like I do.) Quote:

I'm guessing based on what is mentioned about range that they put the minimum sized battery that qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.
As I've always said, I wouldn't burn up those credits with anything less. I'd either make hybrids that didn't qualify for any credit at all, or plug-ins that qualify for the full amount. Curious what the MPG will be. ...and it seems we've got at least 1 more vehicle generation with exaggerated faux grills. My guess is the very next generation will make it look terribly outdated. That said, I'm not one to care much about vanity, but form should follow function. It all makes sense now when Toyota started calling the plug-in Prius the Prius Prime. Prime is now what they call their plug-in version of vehicles it seems. |
302hp total with 176hp from the ICE leaves 126hp from the battery, not bad. You should be able to get pretty good acceleration out of it without making the ICE turn on.
