[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm thinking of getting one, but DH keeps saying that it can have double the issues because it has both power trains.  IDK, but I still like the idea of one.[/quote]

He is right. They don’t have double the issues, but they do have 70% more issues vs traditional hybrid or gas-only vehicles: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/electric-vehicles-are-less-reliable-than-conventional-cars-a1047214174/#:~:text=Plug%2DIn%20Hybrids%20Have%20Fewer%20Problems%20Than%20Before,than%20both%20standard%20hybrid%20and%20gas%2Donly%20vehicles.

Part of this is because the technology is newer. Reliability of PHEVs will improve a fair bit over the next 5 years.[/quote]

To op’s specific question about the rav4 plug in/Prime and quoting the article you linked:

“But our survey also shows that some longstanding Toyota and Lexus hybrids and PHEVs remain some of the most reliable vehicles, period. The Toyota RAV4 Prime and RAV4 Hybrid SUVs, Toyota Corolla Hybrid sedan, Toyota Prius hatchback, and Lexus NX Hybrid are all on our list of the 10 most reliable cars, joined by the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid sedan.“[/quote]
