Toyota doesn’t sell the Prius as an EV car

Id like to see the ad

It sells it as having an “EV mode”

Just the fact that you can choose to never use it

Makes it impossible to call it an “EV”

A Prius isn't a EV....it's a girl car and a car for old ladies that satisfies the media's global warming shame complex

It's one of the most efficient and lowest emissions vehicles ever made.  

If everyone drove 67 Chevelles humanity would suffocate  today.  20 lbs CO2 for every gallon 6.8 lbs of gasoline combusted.

We know. Science, Knowledge, and Tech aren't  manly.  You probably think your sex robot is a woman.

Wrong again!
They refer to it as a PHEV, which stands for Plug-in Hybrid ELECTRIC VEHICLE!
Here's the ad, and maybe that will convince you.  I know CP and JohnnyYou are still scratching their empty heads over that fact as they run away from continuing their obvious ignorance they've shown on this thread!2026 Toyota Prius PHEV
 Prius PHEV. Given the buying public's growing familiarity with EVs and hybrids and their attendant terminology, it makes sense to incorporate the self-explanatory PHEV acronym in the name.

I'll have to say, the new body style is a couple of steps up!

CP had an old one.
CP out for Sunday Brunch.
Lol, note the building behind the car!

Electric Vehicles Vs. Hybrid & Plug-In: Detailed Comparison

No, EV (Electric Vehicle) and hybrid cars are not the same; an EV runs solely on electricity from a large battery that must be plugged in to charge, while a hybrid uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor with a smaller battery that recharges through driving and braking, and sometimes can be plugged in (in the case of a plug-in hybrid).

Electric Vehicle (EV)
Power Source: Runs completely on electricity stored in a large battery pack.
Charging: Requires being plugged into an external charging station to replenish the battery.
Engine: No internal combustion engine is present.
Emissions: Produces zero tailpipe emissions.
Examples: Tesla Model 3, Nissan Leaf.

So why don't you call Toyota and tell them they're wrong and it is NOT an EV, because YOU choose not to use the EV mode, and you're SO much smarter than they are?

Because Toyota is not wrong, little lady.

You are. And you need to put on your big girl skirt and admit it.

Zeets, Buddy, take the L on this one.  A hybrid is an ICE vehicle.  I have owned three of them.  2008 Highlander, 2012 Honda CRz, and now a Honda insight.  They are gasoline vehicles that have a battery assist.  The battery is charged under braking and deceleration.  While I can. Choose EV mode I allow the car to choose when and I get over 50 MPH.

i dont have a ply for it, nor did I for the other 2.

EV Mode, or Electric Vehicle Mode, allows a hybrid car to run solely on its electric battery for short distances at low speeds, providing a quiet, emission-free driving experience. You typically activate it by pressing an "EV" button on the dashboard, and the vehicle will only use electric power until the battery is depleted, the engine is needed for more power, or you exceed a certain speed (often around 25 mph). It's best for urban environments, parking lots, and residential areas where low-speed, quiet operation is beneficial

Yes, nitwit, it CAN.  That's what makes it A **** HYBRID YOU ASSHOLE!

It can ALSO run ONLY ON IT'S ELECTRIC MOTOR!

Would you care to explain to me WHY someone would spend an additional $10,000 or so on an ELECTRIC VEHICLE if they ONLY intend to continue buying gas for it?

Or are you trying to prove you're as ignorant as CP?

Have you ever heard of regenerative braking?  It takes energy to slow down a vehicle.  It's cool the Prius does this by  charging the battery and recapturing the energy to stop instead of turning it into frictional heat on brake pads.

Best of both worlds, plug it in or fill it up.   It's awesome tech. The Planetary Gear in the drive is a marvel of engineering. Again, you guys hate tech.

At least you figured out it's not 100% EV. I rented a Hybrid Van. It did not have the Prius tech. It was totally stupid and Made in America.. All the 10K$ battery did was get me a good parking spot at the empty charging spots.

Reducing emmisions is essential for the kids future man.  35GT a year of CO2 into the air a year has environmental anthropogenic ramifications.  Kudos to the people who can afford to help fight climate change. Other than the battery change, the Prius is very low cost maintenance.

You coudn't balance an equation if you even knew what one was Zeets for Brains. You have a PhD in MAGAmethics. Rich Richer = Poor Poorer = Good! Logic say NOT!

If this we the shrubbie bush administration, you wouldn't sound as silly. But it's 2025.

Do "peak oil," now - I need my morning dose of stupid.

There is a new tech called "Free Cooling" .   Basically geothermal.. It is hot for investment! Incredibly efficient to use the natural heat sink of the Earth, until we melt the crust on the Flat Triangular Flying Dorito Earth. It's perfect for a warming Northern Hemisphere.

Plenty of stupid to overdose on in this place.

My coworker is very conservative and full MAGA Jacket.  He to is proud of his Prius and the 3Kwhr battery with solar panels he put on his home.  He loved the Biden Tax Credit for doing it. It runs out Dec 31...

He worked in NY City under Guiliani in 9/11..  The Public works had one of the first World Class fleet of Prius's and he got hooked when they gave him one to drive.

If we can figure out how to grow fuel for them, it's a small chunk of an answer to the emissions problem. 

Farm Equipment is another story. They don't go up and down hills and braking isn't used much.  I don't think we can grow ourselves out of the climate disaster without massive starvation.  Not enough acres to grow fuel to grow food for the soon to be 12 billion served daily.

Keep up the good work!



I take it you drive a shoe box on a skateboard too?

Usually I drive my favorite truck 1996 F-250 Power Stroke if I'm not going too far......heavy metal....uses lots of diesel...just had the suspension rebuilt....wouldn't even know it if I hit a shoe box on a skateboard

All I've done is made a simple and basic point.  A vehicle with an electric motor is an EV, just as Toyota calls it.  I didn't make up the fact that they advertise it as a PHEV, they did!  And that stands for a Plug-in Hybrid ELECTRIC VEHICLE.  And it makes no difference whether it's the best or the worst car on the market today.

Attempting to deny that fact is ridiculous and serves no purpose whatsoever.

Care to explain what the naming of a car's acronym as Toyota has done to call the Prius a PHEV has anything to do with Trump?

Or is it that you begin to sweat profusely and get the shakes if you can't go 10 minutes without attacking Trump?
And yet you'll deny being affected by your own insane case of TDS, won't you?

Then tell me what their acronym means when they coin the Prius as a PHEV, genius?
If THEY'RE not wrong to call it a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, then why am I?

You can call it a rocket ship if you want!  Who really gives a ****, asshole?  I call it what Toyota calls it!  When YOU design and build a car yourself, you can call it whatever the **** you want!

I'm saying it runs on gas. I don't plug it in like you say.

Everyone knows that a hybrid and an EV are two different cars. You're playing stupid because you're embarrassed.

Sure, queer. It is LITERALLY IN THE OP - but I will dickslap you with it again.

That's what my Prius was. Not an EV, as you called it.

Did I deny that it was a hybrid, asshole?
So why do you deny that Toyota calls it an EV in their ads?  How many do I have to show you before a dope like you gets it through your thick **** head?

Take on tomorrow with the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (previously the Prius Prime). Explore the futuristic design, electrifying performance, and innovative technology of this PHEV.

 

2026 Toyota Prius PHEV
Motor Trend  by Alex Leanse

If the 2026 Prius isn’t fuel-efficient enough, Toyota also offers the 2026 Prius Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV). Formerly known as the Prius Prime, the PHEV version shares a stylish hatchback body and interior features with the standard Prius but gains a larger battery and more powerful electric motor that provide all-electric driving range.

 

Electrify the Road in the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
September 26, 2024

The Prius PHEV can operate in EV, Auto EV/HV, or Hybrid Mode depending on the driver’s needs and the vehicle’s state of EV battery charge. EV Mode relies solely on the vehicle’s battery when there is sufficient charge and functions just like any other Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) without support from the gasoline engine. When in Auto EV/HV Mode, the vehicle will still primarily rely on the vehicle’s battery to drive the wheels but will switch to HV mode to provide additional power in more demanding circumstances, like up steep hills or at higher speeds. In Hybrid Mode, the Prius Plug-in automatically switches between the gasoline engine and the electric motors to efficiently combine the engine drive force and the electric power from the hybrid battery. 

Embarrassed???
Why, because a dope like you refuses to believe what Toyota calls their car WHICH YOU BOUGHT?
Would you also deny that a car has ABS (anti-lock braking system) because you hit the button on the dashboard that turns it off?
How about your automatic headlight feature that turns on your lights automatically when it gets dark?  Does turning off that feature mean that the car can't do that?
Does your refusal to use your cruise control, your radio, your passenger air-bag, your GPS, your automatic and intermittent wipers, your automatic phone dialer, or your lane changing blinker features also mean it can't do those built-in OPTIONS?
Do you even understand what OPTIONS mean?
Same thing, dickhead!  Just because a dope like you was stupid enough to pay $10,000 or so for a feature you don't want to use DOESN'T MEAN THE CAR ISN'T MADE WITH THAT FEATURE!

But you want to deny the fact that the Prius PHEV has an electric battery and TWO electric motors in the PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE which Toyota named it?
YOU should be embarrassed for uttering such stupidity!

I never said it was a "100% EV", did I?

So tell me, genius.  Where do you "PLUG IN" to charge it?  In the sink?  In your refrigerator?  OR DO YOU PLUG IT IN TO AN ELECTRIC SOCKET?

It figures that a dope like you would spend that kind of money because you think you're "saving the planet" from the hoax of man-made climate change!
