    Fully Charged does the plug in (in the UK). Its worth noting that Robert runs a G3 Prius as his everyday and "CarPool" car:

    I've been following Robert since his "Gearless" videos on YouTube. I'm pretty entertained by his shows, and hope he can get this one off the ground and running strong! Thanks for the post!

    I noticed that he said this version does not have an EV mode switch. I wonder if it would be possible to add one, like on the Gen-2 prius.

    Nothing is known about the production car since they are only in testing phase right now, but it's speculated that there will be an EV button in the final release. Most likely, the EV mode was disabled for test vehicles so that drivers would use the EV battery pack and deplete it. Toyota will be studying the results when they get the cars back.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say nothing is known about what the producton PHEV will be. Toyota already published its weight, Kwh capacity, EV range etc. It's not like they can reasonably spend a couple years testing all these specs, and then release a compleatly different PHEV. They're sticking w/ this criteria for a reason.

    It's a good vid, i like his frustration at not getting the MFD under 99.9MPG!

    My mistake, I phrased that incorrectly. I didn't mean to say no technical specs or information was released about the car. I meant to say nothing is known in terms of what packages/trims/features the car will be equipped with. *(a la Prius II/III/IV, etc)*

    Robert was at the 10-10-10 event in Malibu as well - nice to hear his thoughts on Prius.

    The car has squeaky rear brakes when he's backing out of his garage. Just like my car ..... LOL
