context_page_description: The Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, also known as Prius PHV and Prius Prime since 2016, is a plug-in hybrid manufactured by Toyota. Deliveries of the production model began in Japan in January 2012, in late February in the United States, and by late June 2012 in Europe. The second generation model was first available in 2016 and is currently being produced.
  The first generation Prius plug-in was produced from 2012 to 2016. Its total all-electric range in blended mode is 18 km as rated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA fuel economy rating is 95 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent in charge-depleting and a combined city/highway rating of 4.7 L/100 km; 60 mpg‑imp in hybrid mode, the same as the conventional Prius liftback. The first generation Prius plug-in was based on a third generation Toyota Prius outfitted with a 4.4 kWh lithium-ion battery co-developed with Panasonic. A total of about 75,400 first generation units were sold worldwide through April 2016.
  The second generation Prius plug-in is called the Prius Prime in the United States and Prius PHV in Japan and Europe. It was first available in 2016 and is currently being produced.
context_section_description: The Prius Prime has an 8.8-kilowatt-hour (32 MJ) lithium-ion battery that delivers an EPA-rated all-electric range of 40 km (25 miles), more than double that of the first generation model. The battery fits under the rear cargo floor and weighs 120 kg (265 lb).  On one full tank of regular-grade gasoline and a full electric charge, total range is 1,030 km (640 miles). Its electric range lags behind the Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in, Hyundai Sonata PHEV and the Chevrolet Volt.
  To keep up with the demands of charging the larger pack, the onboard charger was upgraded to 3.3 kW, up from 2.2 kW in the Prius Plug-in. The lithium-ion battery pack can be charged in 5.5 hours at 120 volts, or less than half that time at 240 volts.
  The forced-air-cooled battery pack is located just under and slightly aft of the back seat. Toyota improved the precision in battery cell assembly working together with battery supplier Panasonic.
  In Japan, the Prius PHV offers an optional solar roof charging system that provides up to 6.1 km (3.8 miles) of range per day.
