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: Toyota expected the Prius Prime to achieve an EPA rating of 29 kW⋅h/100 mi; 18 kW⋅h/100 km (120 mpg‑e), a 26% enhancement over the first generation model. Toyota targeted the fuel economy in hybrid mode to be equal or better than regular fourth generation Prius liftback. To reduce weight, Toyota used aluminum for the hood, and high-tensile strength steel. The Prius Prime features Toyota's first carbon fiber rear hatch, which saves weight, while a dual-wave rear glass design helps cut drag.
  The 2017 model year Prius Prime has an EPA fuel economy rating of 25.9 kW⋅h/100 mi (133 mpg‑e) in all-electric mode (EV mode), the highest mpg-e rating of any vehicle with an internal combustion engine, making the Prime the most energy-efficient plug-in hybrid when operating in EV mode. However, the combined gasoline/electricity rating is not available yet. When operating in hybrid mode, the Prius Prime has an EPA-rated combined fuel economy of 4.4 L/100 km; 65 mpg‑imp (54 mpg‑US), 4.3 L/100 km; 66 mpg‑imp (55 mpg‑US) in city driving, and 4.4 L/100 km; 64 mpg‑imp (53 mpg‑US) in highway. Only the Prius Eco has a higher EPA-rated fuel economy rating in hybrid mode. Among all-electric cars, only the Hyundai Ioniq Electric has a higher energy efficiency, rated at 25.3 kW⋅h/100 mi; 15.7 kW⋅h/100 km (136 mpg‑e).
