[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just bought a new Rav4 Prime plug in hybrid. It’s incredible! It gets 40 miles all electric before the ICE engine kicks in and that means that it’s essentially an electric car unless on a road trip and then we don’t have to worry about charging stations or range. Best of both worlds.[/quote]

I've had my Rav4 Prime for about a year and we really only fill up on road trips.  The range is enough to be all electric for my commute and errands.  Highly recommend it.  [/quote]

Pardon me for not being totally up on this...is this a think with other cars? Is it something special with the Rav4?

No, the Rav4 Prime is not special. The Rav4 Prime is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). It has a battery, which lets one drive for about 40 miles on battery power alone, and also a traditional internal combustion engine that works in concert with the battery if you need to go further. Other examples include the Chrysler Pacifica hybrid, Ford Escape hybrid, Hyundai Ioniq hybrid, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, etc.[/quote]
