    Saw this ad on Kijiji in Toronto. Looks like a gen ii Prius, but how is there a charging outlet in the rear bumper? Screenshot_20211230-092734.jpg Screenshot_20211230-092707.jpg Screenshot_20211230-092702.jpg

    There were some aftermarket add on kits to turn the Prius into a plug in.
    Others can add in what companies etc.

    Or may be some DIY that stood the test of time long enough to sell :confused:

    Yeah marvy but no matter where how I charge that battery what's it going to do for me go 5 mi whatever it is I mean if I going to put that plug back there I'm going to take up most of the back seat area with a battery like a electric car might do then I would need that charging port and what have you so I'm assuming if you turn it into a plug-in then you must up the battery capacity or it seems kind of pointless like the volt goes one of the many way 15 miles and then you're running a generator and regular ice engine not sure what the point of that was if I can make it go 19 miles why not just make it go a hundred

    SM-A715F ?

    Would be funny if it’s just a fake and did nothing.

    I was gonna say that it may just be a engine block heater.

    It just says plug in, doesn’t say why. Great Canadian marketing technique. Maybe it powers the dome light too.
